FLUORINATED ELASTOMER, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF FLUORINATED ELASTOMER, AND SILICON-CONTAINING COMPOUND

摘要

Disclosed are a process for production of a fluorinated elastomer which has a residue containing a functional group at the terminus of the backbone and/or the terminus of a side chain; a fluorinated elastomer produced by the process; a curable composition comprising the fluorinated elastomer; a molded article produced by cross-linking the curable composition; and a silicon-containing compound. A process for production of a cross-linkable fluorinated elastomer having a functional group (Y) at the terminus of the backbone and/or the terminus of a side chain, the process comprising the step of performing the cyclization between (A) a fluorinated elastomer having a functional group (Z) at the terminus of the backbone and/or the terminus of a side chain and (B) an organic compound having a functional group (Y) or a segment capable of being converted into the functional group (Y) and a reactive group capable of being cyclized with the functional group (Z).
