An acrylic rubber composition includes an acrylic rubber and a specific antioxidant, wherein the acrylic rubber includes 15 to 55% by weight of methacrylic acid alkyl ester monomer units (a), 44.5 to 84.5% by weight of acrylic acid ester monomer units (b), and 0.5 to 4% by weight of carboxyl group-containing monomer units (c), and the content of the antioxidant is 0.1 to 5 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the acrylic rubber.

The present invention provides a polymer composition comprising a polymer and an antioxidant comprising a diarylamine-based compound represented by General Formula (1): ##STR00001##
where, in General Formula (1), A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 each independently represent a C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 arylene group which may have a substituent, and A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 each independently represent an organic group having a cyclic imide structure which may have a substituent.

Described herein are fluoropolymer compositions comprising a compound of Formula I wherein X.sup.1 is selected from O or S; L is a divalent linking group comprising at least one aromatic ring; and X.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a thiol group, and a nitrile group. In one embodiment, the phthalonitrile-containing compound is used to crosslink a dehydrohalogenated polymer, and optionally with a polyhydroxy curative. In another embodiment, the phthalonitrile-containing compound is added to a composition comprising (i) a fluorinated elastomeric gum, wherein the fluorinated elastomeric gum comprises a fluoropolymer having a cure-site and (ii) a peroxide curing system. ##STR00001##
