Abstract: A thermoplastic composition that includes a base polymer, a fluoropolymer, and a fluoride scavenger having suitable fluoride levels such that use in the electronics industry is appropriate. An extrusion method may be used for making the thermoplastic composition. The compositions may then be used to form a molded article. The composition has lower fluoride levels as compared to thermoplastic compositions without the fluoride scavenger making it suitable for use in electronic applications, as well as medical or food or beverage applications where fluoride ions are a concern.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing high quality crystalline anatase titanium dioxide having a substantial occurrence of (001) facets. Including the steps of combining a source of fluoride anions with a titanium precursor and subjecting the mixture to hydrolysis. A solvent can be combined with the source of fluoride anions and the titanium precursor prior to hydrolysis. The crystalline anatase titanium dioxide can be produced to have the highly reactive (001) facets predominant by area in a variety of crystal structures, such as nanosheets.
