Volume grafted elastomer surfaces and methods thereof

摘要

Volume grafted elastomer surfaces and a method for providing a volume grafted elastomer surface on a supporting substrate which includes dissolving a fluoroelastomer in a solvent, adding a nucleophilic dehydrofluorinating agent, preferably an amino silane which acts as both a dehydrofluorinating agent and curing agent, a polymerization initiator and a polyorganosiloxane in amounts sufficient to effect formation of a volume graft elastomer, optionally adding an additional amount of amino silane as a curative in order to ensure complete curing of the volume grafted elastomer, and subsequently providing a layer of the homogeneous volume grafted elastomer solution to the supporting substrate are provided herein.
