| abstract |
A novel fluorine-containing copolymer having functional groups comprising structural units of 1,1-difluoroethylene and structural units of a monomeric compound of the formula: <IMAGE> wherein X is -OH, <IMAGE> or -COOH group, m is 0 or an integer of 1 to 10 and n is an integer of 1 to 4, which may futher contain structural units of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of tetrafluoroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, monofluoroethylene 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene, hexafluoropropene and a fluoroalkyl vinyl ether. The copolymer is curable at room temperature, and is useful as a material for fluorine-containing rubbers, molded articles and paints. |
