Abstract:
A thermoprocessable fluorinated copolymer consisting essentially of:(a) from 10 to 70%, by moles, of ethylene,(b) from 30 to 90%, by moles, of a fluorinated monomer selected from the group consisting of tetrafluoroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, and mixtures thereof, and(c) from 0.1 to 30%, by moles, based on the total amount of monomers (a) and (b), of a hydrogenated monomer having the formula:CH.sub.2 =CH--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sub.1 (I)where R.sub.1 =--OR.sub.2, --(O).sub.t CO(O).sub.p R.sub.2 with t and p as integers: t=0 or 1 and p=0 or 1 excluding p=0 when t=0 and R.sub.2 is a hydrogenated radical from 1 to 20, carbon atoms C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 branched and/or linear alkyl and cyclo-alkyl radical or R.sub.2 is H and n is an integer between 0 and 10 with the proviso that when n=1, R.sub.1 =--(O).sub.t CO(O).sub.p R.sub.2.
