Crosslinkable modified fluorinated polymers

Melt-processable thermally crosslinkable compositions consisting of:

• I) thermoprocessable copolymers of ethylene (E), tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and/or chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), and acrylic monomers of formula:
• CH2═CH—CO—O—R2 (a)
• wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of H;
• linear and/or branched alkyl radicals having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms;
• cycloalkyl radicals having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms;
• and substituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms containing Cl, O, N, or one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of OH, COOH, epoxide, ester, ether, and double bonds;
• II) one or more cross-linking agents selected from the group consisting of triallylisocyanurate (TAIC), triallylcyanurate (TAC), diallyl isophthalate, diallyl terephthalate, esters of phenylindan dicarboxylic acids, triallyl esters of aryl polycarboxylic acids, 1,6 divinylperfluorohexane, hexamethylendiaminecarbamate (DIAK 1), N,N′-dicinnamylidene-1,6-hexanediamine (DIAK 3), m-phenylenbismaleimide, C4-C20 aliphatic diamines, and bisphenols A, AF and S.
