Copolymers of maleic anhydride or acid and fluorinated oleffins

摘要

Novel copolymers of fluorinated olefins and maleic anhydride, maleic acid, dichloromaleic anhydride or dichloromaleic acid may be made by using as solvents for the maleic anhydride or acid a perfluorinated alkyl carboxylic acid, or liquid or supercritical hexafluoropropylene or carbon dioxide. The resulting polymers are useful as adhesives or compatibilizing agents for fluoropolymers, and in coatings.
