Abstract:
Provided is a tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymer which is less likely to form a lump, or is less likely to form a large lump even if a lump is formed, during the formation of an electric wire. The tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymer has a melt flow rate measured at 372° C. of 35.0 to 45.0 g/10 minutes and a swell of −8.0% to 5.0%, the sum of the numbers of —CF2H groups and unstable end groups being 120 or less per 1×106 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
A fluorine-containing copolymer obtained by copolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene and perfluoro vinyl ether as component monomers, wherein a weight ratio of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene and perfluoro vinyl ether units constituting the fluorine-containing copolymer is 70 to 95:5 to 20:0 to 10, respectively; the fluorine-containing copolymer having: a melt flow rate of 30 (g/10 minutes) or more; a volatile content index of 0.2% by weight or less; and a stress relaxation modulus G(t) (unit: dyn/cm2) which satisfies the following formula at tnull0.1 second when measured at a temperature of 310null C.: G(0.1)>7null106nullXnull1.6143null3000 where X denotes the melt flow rate (unit: g/10 minutes).

Compatibilizers are disclosed that enable the formation of stable alloys of fluoropolymers with cyclic olefin copolymers (COC). The alloys are useful for many purposes, such as high frequency electronics. Methods of making the compatibilizer and the alloy are further provided.
Abstract:
Composite binder materials for energy storage applications are disclosed. The composite binder materials include a fluoropolymer, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), integrated with a conductive additive and a low-melting point thermoplastic. Methods of making the composite binder materials are also disclosed. The methods include providing an emulsion of the fluoropolymer, mixing the low-melting point thermoplastic and the particulate conductive additive into the emulsion of the fluoropolymer to form a mixture, and coagulating the mixture to produce a coagulum including the composite binder material. The disclosure also provides a binder powder for an electrochemical device capable of providing an electrode mixture sheet having excellent uniformity of tensile strength. The disclosure relates to a binder powder for an electrochemical device, containing a non-fibrillated fibrillatable resin and a thermoplastic polymer.

Abstract:
A communications cable is provided that includes a pair of twisted pair of wires, each coated with a fluoropolymer insulator. The twisted pair of wires is configured to carry a differential signal, such as a differential data signal and/or a differential power signal. The fluoropolymers are highly effective insulators and significantly reduce both the effects of internal and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining low cable attenuation, even when operating within a temperature range of −40° C. to 150° C.
