Abstract:
A curable composition comprises a fluorinated polyether represented by the formula: Z1—X1p and a nonfluorinated polyether represented by the formula Q1-X2yZ1 represents a p-valent perfluorinated polyether group. Q1 represents a y-valent hydrocarbon polyether group. Each X1 and X2 group independently represents a functional group. p and y are integers ≥2. At least some of the p X1 groups are reactive to at least some of the y X2 groups to form a covalently cross-linked polymer network. Hybrid fluoroelastomers made by curing the curable compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A curable composition includes a functionalized fluoropolyether comprising at least one first free-radically reactive functional group, a functionalized polysiloxane comprising at least one second free-radically reactive functional group, and an effective amount of a free-radical curing system. The curable composition can be cured to making a fluoropolyether-polysiloxane elastomer. Compositions and shaped articles including the fluoropolyether-polysiloxane elastomer are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Described herein is a melt-processible polymer composition comprising: a non-fluorinated melt-processible polymer; and a fluorine-containing polymer comprising an end-group having a structures from group consisting of: and combinations thereof; wherein X1, X2, and X3 are each independently selected from H, F, Cl, a C1 to C4 alkyl group, and a C1 to C4 fluorinated alkyl group; R7 is a linking group comprising at least 2 or more catenary atoms; and Z1 and Z2 are independently selected from F, CF3, and a perfluoroalkyl group.
