## Abstract **Summary:** Fluoropolymer films consisting of well‐defined nanospheres were deposited via pulsed plasma polymerization of 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10‐heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate (HDFA) on flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrates. The morphology of the nanostructured fluoropolymer films was studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The mean diameter (__D__~m~) and standard deviation in diameter (__SD__) of the fluoropolymer nanospheres, as derived from the surface FESEM images of the films, were about 17 nm and 2 nm, respectively. The formation of highly uniform and well‐structured nanospheres was achieved through the removal of the reactive species and the monomer in‐between successive plasma bursts. The interspersed cleaning and monomer‐free purging process eliminated the post‐plasma polymerization effect (polymerization carried out by the persisting radicals and ions on the nanoparticle surface during the plasma‐off period) and allowed a better control of the particle growth. The chemical composition of the nanostuctured fluoropolymer films was studied by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy
