Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
39 words
In a cured perfluoroelastomer composition prepared from polymerized units of tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoro (alkylvinylether) and a nitrile-containing monomer, the improvement wherein the perfluoroelastomer is crosslinked with a carbon-carbon linkage and wherein the cured perfluoroelastomer is substantially free from triazine linkages.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
39 words
In a cured perfluoroelastomer composition prepared from polymerized units of tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoro (alkylvinylether) and a nitrile-containing monomer, the improvement wherein the perfluoroelastomer is crosslinked with a carbon-carbon linkage and wherein the cured perfluoroelastomer is substantially free from triazine linkages.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A cured perfluoroelastomer of claim 1 wherein the perfluoro (alkyvinylether) is perfluoro (methylvinylether).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A cured perfluoroelastomer of claim 2 wherein the perfluoroelastomer is polymerized from about 53-79.9 mole percent tetrafluoroethylene, 20-46.9 mole percent perfluoro (methylvinylether) and 0.1-2.5 mole percent nitrile-containing monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A cured perfluoroelastomer of claim 3 wherein the nitrile-containing monomer consists essentially of perfluoro (8-cyano-5-methyl-3,6-dioxa-1-octene).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A cured perfluoroelastomer of claim 1 further characterized by an absence of triazine linkages, as determined by infrared analysis.
