Patent ID: 7485683

Claim:
A compatibilized composition, comprising: a blend comprising a fluoro(co)polymer; a polyolefin polymer or copolymer, wherein the polyolefin copolymer is a copolymer of two or more different olefin monomers having from 2 to about 14 carbon atoms, or a greater part by weight of one or more olefin monomers and a lesser amount of one or more monomers of a vinyl acetate monomer and a diene monomer; and a compatibilizer, said compatibilizer comprising the reaction product of: a) a fluoro(co)polymer having a functional group and a polyolefin polymer or copolymer having a functional group, said functional groups being complementary and reactive with each other; or b) a fluoro(co)polymer having a functional group, a polyolefin polymer or copolymer having a functional group, said functional groups being the same or non-reactive with each other, and a bridging compound having at least two functional groups with said bridging compound first functional group reactive with said fluoro(co)polymer functional group and said bridging compound second functional group reactive with said polyolefin polymer or copolymer functional group, and wherein the compatibilizer polyolefin copolymer is derived from two or more different olefin monomers having from 2 to about 14 carbon atoms or an olefin monomer having from 2 to about 14 carbon atoms and one or more of a vinyl acetate monomer, a diene monomer, and an acrylic monomer.
