Claims
- 1. A melt-fabricable fluoropolymer composition, comprising minor amounts of functionalized fluoropolymer resin having functional groups selected from the group consisting of --SO.sub.2 F, and --CH.sub.2 --Z, wherein --Z is --OCN, --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2 or --OP(O)(OH).sub.2, and mixtures thereof, and liquid crystal polymer resin and a major amount of non-functionalized fluoropolymer resin.
- 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2.
- 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --OP(O)(OH).sub.2.
- 4. The composition of claim 1, wherein said liquid crystal polymer resin is present in the amount of 0.5-15 wt % based on combined weights of liquid crystal polymer resin, functionalized fluoropolymer resin, and non-functionalized fluoropolymer resin present.
- 5. A melt-fabricable fluoropolymer composition, comprising minor amounts of functionalized fluoropolymer resin containing copolymerized units derived from functional monomers having functional groups selected from the group consisting of --SO.sub.2 F, --CN, and --CH.sub.2 --Z, wherein --Z is --OCN, --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2 or --OP(O)(OH).sub.2, and mixtures thereof, and liquid crystal polymer resin and a major amount of non-functionalized fluoropolymer resin.
- 6. The composition of claim 5, wherein the functional group of said functionalized fluoropolymer is at least one of --SO.sub.2 F and --CH.sub.2 --Z wherein --Z is --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2, or --OP(O)(OH).sub.2.
- 7. The composition of claim 6, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2.
- 8. The composition of claim 6, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --OP(O)(OH).sub.2.
- 9. The composition of claim 5, wherein said liquid crystal polymer resin is present in the amount of 0.5-15 wt % based on combined weights of liquid crystal polymer resin, functionalized fluoropolymer resin, and non-functional fluoropolymer resin present.
