Abstract
Polymer compositions containing a mixture of an elastomer and a fluoropolymer can be made by diffusing fluorinated olefins and free radical initiators in preferably swollen elastomers and polymerizing the fluorinated olefins. The resulting compositions have useful properties, such as reduced sliding friction, which makes them useful for seals in contact with moving surfaces, and for other uses.
