Abstract
Abstract An acrylic elastomer capable of giving a vulcanization product having a distinguished tensile strength and a good stretching even by cross-linking with an organic peroxide can be obtained by using an organic peroxide having a non-conjugated double bond as a polymerization initiator in polymerization of at least one of (a) alkyl acrylates having an alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms and (b) alkoxyalkyl acrylates having an alkoxyalkyl grouop of 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
