A method of bonding a layer comprising a fluoropolymer capable of being cross-linked by a peroxide -based curing reaction to a layer comprising a second polymer the method comprising curing said layers while being in contact with each other and in presence of a peroxide curing agent and a bonding promoter, wherein the bonding promoter corresponds to the general formula R1QSi(R)x(R3)3-x (I) wherein R1 represents a residue comprising a polymerisable group said polymerisable group being selected from an ethylenically unsaturated group and an epoxy group, Q is a chemical bond or an organic linking group, each R2 independently represents a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or aryl group, each R3 represents a halogen or a group OR4, wherein each R4 independently represents a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or aryl group. Further provided are articles prepared by the method, fluoropolymer and silicone polymer compositions containing the bonding promoter of formula (I) and the use of the compositions for making hoses, tubes, O-rings, valves and seals. |
