Provided is a catalyst composition suitable for curing a fluoroelastomer, the catalyst composition comprising an anion of Formula III: 2. The composition of wherein each Rf is CF. This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/322,001, filed on Nov. 22, 2011, which is a national stage filing under 35 U.S.C. 371 of PCT/US2010/039730, filed on Jun. 24, 2010, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/220,441, filed on Jun. 25, 2009, the disclosure of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.This invention relates to a catalyst composition as well as curable and cured fluoropolymer compositions, methods of making fluoropolymer compositions, and fluoropolymer articles.Fluoroelastomers are cured or crosslinked and generally are tolerant to high temperatures and harsh chemical environments. They are particularly useful as seals, gaskets, and molded parts in systems that are exposed to elevated temperatures and/or corrosive materials. For sealing applications that require resistance to the most extreme conditions, perfluorinated elastomers are used. Such parts are used in applications such as automotive, chemical processing, semiconductor, aerospace, and petroleum industries, among others.Fluoroelastomers often include a cure-site component to facilitate cure in the presence of a curative or catalyst. One class of useful cure-site components used in perfluoroelastomers includes nitrile group-containing monomers, for which organotin catalysts have been used as curing components. However, such catalysts can leave undesirable extractable metal residues in the cured product and are undesirable for environmental reasons. Ammonia-generating compounds have also been used as a cure system component in fluoroelastomers, but these cure systems lack the desired level of rheology control during processing. Fluoroalkoxy onium containing catalysts were developed to address improved compression set performance. However, these ...

The requirements for the NMP condition are lower than those for the ATRP condition, meaning that the NMP is more feasible. The NMP initiator is free of sulfur atoms, and the color of the NMP product is lighter than the color of the RAFT product. As such, NMP has inherent advantages for application in optical PMMA. However, nitroxide initiator (the critical technology of NMP) is usually synthesized in several steps.
