A fluorinated acrylic resin was synthesized for use as a co‐monomer with a commercially available epoxy resin for UV‐cured interpenetrating polymer network preparation. Hybrid IPN networks were achieved with morphology ranging from a co‐continuous IPN to complete phase separation simply by changing monomer ratios. Highly hydrophobic coatings with good adhesion properties on glass substrates were obtained.
