Abstract

By means of radicalic starters, fluoroolefins are polymerized in the presence of perfluoropolyethers containing, at one or at both ends, a bromine atom, in such amounts that the weight ratio between the perfluoropolyethers and the fluorinated olefins in the resulting product ranges from 4/1 to 1/50. The bromine-containing perfluoropolyethers utilized in the process have a molecular weight from 400 to 10,000, and preferably from 600 to 8,000. The resulting polymeric products comprise sequences of perfluoroolefinic units and perfluoropolyether blocks.
