Fluorine-Containing Elastomer Compositions Including Microdiamond

Abstract

A curable fluorine-containing elastomer compositions herein have at least one curable fluoropolymer having at least one fluorinated monomer and at least one fluorine-containing cure site monomer comprising at least one cure site; at least one curative; and microdiamond particles having an average particle size greater than 0.1 microns to about 100 microns. Such compositions may be fluorinated or perfluorinated. Articles formed from the compositions herein may be used at high service temperatures, and exhibit one or more of reduced particulation, reduced high-temperature compression set values, reduced sticking force, enhanced resistance to fluorine-based plasma, oxygen-based plasma, hydrogen-based plasma, and combinations thereof, and improved physical properties.
