Claims
- 1. A melt-fabricable fluoropolymer composition, comprising minor amounts of functionalized fluoropolymer resin and high temperature resistant thermoplastic resin adhesion promoter and a major amount of non-functional fluoropolymer resin.
- 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein said composition also comprises melt-fabricable fluoropolymer resin that is not functionalized.
- 3. The composition of claim 1, 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 --OH, --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2, or --OP(O)(OH).sub.2.
- 4. The composition of claim 3, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --OH.
- 5. The composition of claim 3, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --OP(O)(OH).sub.2.
- 6. The composition of claim 1, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic is at least one of polyetheretherketone, polyetherketoneketone, polyphenylenesulfide, polyethersulfone, and polyamideimide.
- 7. The composition of claim 6, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic is polyetheretherketone.
- 8. The composition of claim 6, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic is polyetherketoneketone.
- 9. The composition of claim 6, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic is polyphenylenesulfide.
- 10. The composition of claim 6, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic is polyethersulfone.
- 11. The composition of claim 6, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic is polyamideimide.
- 12. The composition of claim 1, wherein said high temperature resistant thermoplastic resin adhesion promoter is present in the amount of 0.5-10 wt % based on combined weights of high temperature resistant thermoplastic resin adhesion promoter, functionalized fluoropolymer resin, and non-functional fluoropolymer resin present.
- 13. The composition of claim 1, wherein said composition also comprises inert filler.
- 14. The composition of claim 3, wherein said functional group is --CH.sub.2 --O--(CO)--NH.sub.2.
