Abstract: The present invention describes the synthesis of new fluorinated elastomers with very low glass transition temperatures (Tg), a good resistance to bases, gasoline and other carburants and good workability properties, these elastomers contain hexafluoropropene (HFP), perfluoro(4-methyl-3,6-dioxaoct-7-ene) sulfonyl fluoride (PFSO2F), vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and/or at least one fluorinated alkene and/or one vinyl perfluorinated ether. In a precise case, they are prepared by radical polymerisation of HFP and PFSO2F or by radical terpolymerisation HFP, PFSO2F and VDF in the presence of different organic initiator, such as peroxides, peresters or diazo compounds.

Abstract: The present invention describes the synthesis of new sulforated fluorinated elastomers having very low glass transition temperatures (Tg), a good resistance to bases, oils and fuels and good properties of workability. These elastomers contain, by way of example, from 80 to 60 mole % of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and 20 to 40 mole % of perfluoro(4-methyl-3,6-dioxaoct-7-ene) sulfonyl fluoride (PFSO2F). In this case, they are prepared by radical copolymerisation of VDF and PFSO2F in the presence of different organic initiators, for example, peroxides, peresters or diazo compounds.

Abstract: Monomers corresponding to the formula Z2C?CWX(CY2)nCN, in which X represents an atom of oxygen or another atom, Z and Y represent an atom of hydrogen or fluorine, W represents an atom of hydrogen or fluorine or a CF3 group and n is a natural integer between 0 and 10 inclusively. Because of the novel methods of copolymerization and crosslinking, these monomers make it possible to produce fluorosulphonated nitrile elastomers having very low glass transition temperatures (Tg).

Abstract: The invention concerns fluorofunctional statistical polymers of formula (V1), wherein: X, Y and Z represent a hydrogen atom and exhibiting in particular low glass transition temperatures obtained in particular from a B monomer of formula (I): F2C═CF—RF—SO2F, wherein: RF represents one or several vinylidene fluoride units and/or a hexafluoropropene unit and/or a chlorotrifluoroerthylene unit. The crosslinkable fluorosulphonated elastomers thus obtained are advantageously usable for making membranes, polymeric electrolytes, ionomers, membranes for fuel cells in particular hydrogen or methanol fuel cells, for obtaining gaskets and O-rings, rubber hose, pipes, pump bodies, diaphragms, piston heads (used in aeronautics, oil, automotive, mining and nuclear industries) and for plastics processes (as processing aids).

Abstract: The present invention describes synthesis of new fluorinated elastomers presenting very low glass transition temperatures, a good resistance to bases, petroleum and fuels and good properties for forming. These elastomers contain, by way of example, from 90 to 50 mole % of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and from 10 to 50 molar % of perfluoromethyl vinyl ether (PMVE). In this precise case, they are prepared by radical copolymerisation of VDF and with PMVE in presence of various organic initiators such as for example the peroxides, the peresters or the diazo compounds.
