Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A low-wear fluoropolymer composite body comprises at least one fluoropolymer and additive particles dispersed therein. Also provided is a process for the fabrication of such a fluoropolymer composite body. The composite body exhibits a low wear rate for sliding motion against a hard counterface, and may be formulated with either melt-processible or non-melt-processible fluoropolymers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An article having a surface, wherein the surface comprises a film layer, wherein the film comprises a fluoropolymer in admixture with particulate filler material, characterized in that the fluoropolymer comprises carboxylic acid and/or carboxylate functionality, and wherein the filler particles, prior to combination with the fluoropolymer, are characterized by: (a) an irregular shape, and (b) a size distribution as determined by dynamic light scattering…
