	<span lang=\"EN-US\">UV-curable
perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-based fluoropolymer (PFPE-DMA) was synthesized and
the photocuring behaviors of PFPE-DMA/HDDA systems with and without tertiary
triethyl amine (TEA) were investigated using photo-DSC under air and nitrogen
atmospheres. Photo-DSC analysis revealed that N<sub>2</sub> purging and the presence
of TEA mitigated oxygen inhibition in the photopolymerization of the UV-curable
free-radical PFPE-DMA/</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">HDDA
system. In addition, TEA synergistically acted as a coinitiator or
photosynergist under nitrogen atmos</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">phere, which increased the cure rate and percentage conversion for
the photopolymerization of PFPE-DMA/</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">HDDA. TEA acted as both oxygen scavenger and photosynergist. The
results presented here demonstrate that investigating the photocuring behaviors
of PFPE-DMA/HDDA systems is very helpful to determin</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">e</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> the optimal curing conditions for the PFPE-DMA
fluoropolymer.</span>
