Abstract

A copolymer comprising 0.005 to 1.5 mole % of repeating units derived from an iodine-containing fluorinated vinyl ether, 40 to 90 mole % of repeating units derived from vinylidene fluoride, 3 to 35 mole % of repeating units derived from perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether), optionally up to 25 mole % of repeating units derived from hexafluoropropylene and optionally up to 40 mole % of repeating units derived from tetrafluoroethylene, which is obtained by polymerizing the above monomers in the presence of a diiodide compound, contains iodine atoms introduced in the copolymer from the diiodide compound and the iodine-containing fluorinated vinyl ether in amounts of 0.01 to 1 wt. % and 0.01 to 2 wt. %, respectively, and has a Mooney viscosity of 20 to 150.
