Novel fluoroalkyl end‐capped oligomer/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites have been easily prepared by the reaction of disodium hydrogenphosphate and calcium chloride in the presence of self‐assembled molecular aggregates formed by fluoroalkyl end‐capped oligomers in aqueous media. The fluorinated hydroxyapatite nanocomposites thus obtained were found to exhibit a good dispersibility in a variety of media, and were applied to the surface modification of glass.
