    Abstract: Described herein is a fluorothermoplast with long chain branching and a method of making such a polymer using a modifier of the formula: F2C═CF(CF2)a(O)RfH wherein a is 0 or 1 and Rf is a linear or branched fluorinated alkylene group comprising 1 to 5 carbon atoms and optionally comprising at least one ether linkage and optionally comprising 1 or 2 hydrogen atoms. This fluorothermoplast may be processed through polymer melt processes, such as blow molding, injection molding, film extrusion, and wire extrusion. Preferably, said polymer contains structural units derived from tetrafluoroethylene and a perfluorinated olefin or ether, and comprises chain branching.

    Abstract: Described herein is a peroxide curable, partially fluorinated polymer derived from: (a) comonomers comprising: (i) 5-28 wt. % of tetrafluoroethylene; (ii) 30-70 wt. % of vinylidene fluoride; and (iii) a monomer selected from 10-45 wt. % of hexafluoropropylene and 10-40 wt, % of a perfluoro ether monomer of the formula Rf-0-(CF2)n—CF═CF2 wherein n is 1 or 0, and Rf represents a perfluoroalkyl residue which may or may not be interrupted by one or more than one oxygen atoms; (b) 0.01-2 wt % of a perfluorinated iodinated vinyl ether based on the total amount of comonomer, wherein the perfluorinated iodinated vinyl ether has the formula: F2C═CF—(CF2)m(0)o—(CF2)n—O—(CF2)p—I where m is 0 or 1; n is an integer of 0-5: o is 0 or 1: and p is an integer of 1-5, wherein when n is 0, o is 0; and (c) 0.01-2 wt % of a chain transfer agent based on the total amount of comonomers wherein the chain transfer agent consists of a diiodo-fluoroalkane and a diiodo-methane. Further described are methods of making the curable partially fluorinated polymers and articles comprising the cured fluoropolymer.
