Normally solid copolymers of a fluorinated vinyl monomer and a perfluorinated vinyl compound having a carboxyl and/or sulfonyl group attached directly to the perfluorinated vinyl group or indirectly through an alkyl or ether linkage have been found to be soluble in low molecular weight polymers of perhalogenated alkyl ethers, low molecular weight polymers of perhalogenated alkyls and perfluoro kerosenes, each of said solvent materials having boiling points between about 200.degree. C. and 350.degree. C. The copolymeric material dissolved in accordance with the instant invention can readily be resolidified by solvent removal and hydrolyzed or converted to the salt form to become a cation exchange material having an equivalent weight in the range of 1000 to 1600.
A method of forming shaped polymeric material polymerized from at least two monomers, one said monomer consisting essentially of at least one fluorinated vinyl compound and said other monomer consisting essentially of at least one monomer of the structure ##STR3## wherein R.sub.f is a bifunctional perfluorinated radical containing from two to eight carbon atoms, which carbon atoms may be interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms and X is selected from the group consisting of sulfonyl fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, sulfonate ester, and carboxylate ester, comprising:
