Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel class of fluorovinyl ether monomers which are useful as cure site monomers in fluoroelastomers, a process for the preparation of these fluorovinyl ether monomers and to curable fluoroelastomer copolymers having copolymerized units of these fluorovinyl ether monomers.
  • Elastomeric fluoropolymers exhibit excellent resistance to the effects of heat, weather, oil, solvents and chemicals.
  • Such materials are commercially available and are most commonly either dipolymers of vinylidene fluoride (VF 2 ) with hexafiuoropropylene (HFP) or terpolymers of VF 2 , HFP, and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). While these di- and terpolymers have many desirable properties, including low compression set and excellent processability, their low temperature flexibility is not adequate for all applications, nor is their resistance to attack by alkaline solvents.
  • fluoroelastomers include the copolymers of TFE with one or more hydrocarbon olefins such as ethylene or propylene, and, optionally VF 2 (for example U.S. Patent No. 4,758,618). These copolymers are generally more resistant to attack by alkaline solutions than other types of fluoroelastomers.

  • fluoroelastomers listed above require incorporation of a cure site monomer into their polymer chains in order to crosslink efficiently. Without such a cure site monomer, the fluoroelastomer may not react at all with curing agents, it may only partially react, or reaction may be too slow for use on a commercial scale. Seals made from poorly crosslinked elastomers often fail sooner than might otherwise be expected. Unfortunately, disadvantages are associated with many of the cure site monomers in use today. For example, monomers which contain reactive bromine or iodine atoms can release byproducts during the curing reaction that are harmful to the environment. Other cure site monomers (e.g.
  • those which contain double bonds at both ends of the molecule may be so reactive that they disrupt polymerization of the fluoroelastomer by altering the polymerization rate, terminating polymerization, or by causing undesirable chain branching, or even gelation to occur.

Furthermore, the cure site monomers employed in the fluoroelastomers of this invention do not adversely affect the polymerization process, nor do byproducts of the curing reaction pose an environmental concern.
