Abstract

Compositions comprising fluoroelastomers having copolymerized units of a cyano-containing cure site monomer are cured (i.e. crosslinked) with a fluoropolymer having pendant sulfonyl azide groups. The latter fluoropolymer comprises copolymerized units of a fluoroalkanesulfonyl azide of formula CF 2 ═CF—(O) p —R f —(CH 2 ) n —SO 2 N 3 , wherein p=0 or 1; n=0-4; and R f is a C 1 -C 16 perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkoxy group. The crosslinks are tetrazole rings formed by the reaction of the pendant sulfonyl azide groups on the fluoropolymer with pendant cyano groups on the fluoroelastomer.

Claims (4)

1. A curable composition comprising:

A) a fluoroelastomer comprising copolymerized units of a cyano group-containing cure site monomer; and

B) at least one fluoropolymer comprising copolymerized units of a fluoroalkanesulfonyl azide of formula CF 2 ═CF—(O) p —R f —(CH 2 ) n —SO 2 N 3 , wherein p=0 or 1; n=0-4; and R f is a C 1 -C 16 perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkoxy group.

2. A cured article made from the composition of claim 1 .
