摘要:
A description is made of a flexible spacer for double glazing made of Polyisobutylene elastomer or butyl rubber IIR (simple or halogenated), suitably loaded with both reinforcing and inert fillers. The spacer can be cross-linked with sulphur or peroxides. The spacer is impermeable to moisture and has high low thermal conductivity gas sealing capacity, and incorporates moisture absorbing material. In particular, the spacer features—on each side wall—at least a small wave (13a) positioned immediately above the accumulation area of the internal or primary sealant (15) so as to ensure an optimal adhesion to the glass of the double/triple glazing unit within which the spacer is fitted and features at least one recess (13b), with a configuration such as to allow the external sealant to penetrate and create a strong mechanical bond between the two materials.

A process for reducing the amount of soluble polymeric fractions in a sulfonyl fluoride polymer. The process comprises contacting the sulfonyl fluoride polymer with a fluorinated fluid followed by separation of the polymer from the fluid. The fluorinated fluid is selected from hydrofluoroethers and hydrofluoropolyethers. The invention further relates to sulfonyl fluoride polymers obtainable by the process and having a heat of fusion not exceeding 4 J/g and containing less than 15% by weight of polymeric fractions having an average content of monomeric units comprising a sulfonyl functional group exceeding 24 mole %.The sulfonyl fluoride polymers so obtained are particularly suitable for the preparation of ionomeric membranes for use in electrochemical devices.
