Copolymers of one or more halogenated olefins and one or more halogenated co-monomers selected from the group consisting of halogenated alkenyl ethers, halogenated alkenyl esters, and halogenated (meth)acrylates are useful in various end-use applications wherein the presence of halogen (e.g., fluorine) in the copolymer imparts one or more desirable properties, as compared to analogous copolymers not containing halogen.

Copolymers of halogenated olefins and halogenated co-monomers

Polymers containing halogen functionality are prepared by the addition or condensation polymerization of at least one halogenated reactant containing at least two active hydrogen-containing functional groups per molecule and at least one halogenated heteroalkyl or halogenated heteroalkenyl group per molecule and at least one co-reactant containing at least two functional groups reactive with the active hydrogen groups of the at least one halogenated reactant.

Addition and condensation polymers prepared from halogenated reactants

A curable composition containing at least one of a haloalkyl ether (meth)acrylate or a haloalkenyl ether (meth)acrylate and, optionally, one or more different types of co-monomers is cured to provide a polymer having advantageous properties as a result of the incorporation of halogenated functionality derived from the haloalkyl/haloalkenyl ether (meth)acrylate monomer.
