Disclosed are copolymers formed by the copolymerization of (1) one or more hydrofluoroolefin monomers selected from the group consisting of hydrofluoroethylene, hydrofluoropropylene, hydrofluorobutene, hydrofluoropentene, and combinations thereof, and preferably selected from 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and combinations thereof, wherein the 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene preferably comprises trans- 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, consisting essentially of or consisting of, and (2) one or more chlorofluoroethylene monomers, preferably chlorotrifluoroethylene ("CTFE") monomers, Wherein the molar ratio of monomer (1) to monomer (2) is preferably about 30:1 to about 1:30. |
