Fluoropolymer compositions comprising a curing agent with ethylenically unsaturated and electron donor groups, and substrates coated therewith

Abstract

A method of making a crosslinked fluoropolymer is described. The method comprises applying a composition to a substrate, wherein the composition comprises fluoropolymer and a fluorinated solvent, one or more curing agents comprising an ethylenically unsaturated group and an electron donor group or precursor thereof. The method further comprises removing the solvent and curing the fluoropolymer with actinic (e.g. ultraviolet “UV”) radiation. Also described is a composition comprising a fluoropolymer dissolved in a fluorinated solvent, and one or more curing agents comprising an ethylenically unsaturated group and an electron donor group or precursor thereof; and article comprising the crosslinked fluoropolymer.
