Disclosed herein are novel monomers of the formula CF2 = CF(CF2)nCH2OCF = CF2, wherein n is 1,2 or 3, and novel intermediates of the formula CF2C1CFCl(CF2)nCH2OCF = CF2 wherein n is 1, 2 or 3. Also disclosed is a fluoro-polymer containing cyclic units when the monomer wherein n is 1 is free radically polymerized. The polymer is particularly useful in for coatings and encapsulants. |
