Abstract: A method for producing a high purity fluoropolymer-containing composition, the method including the steps of performing a fluorine radical treatment on a composition containing a fluoropolymer and a polymer (I) containing a polymerization unit (I) derived from a monomer (I) represented by the general formula (I) to obtain a high purity fluoropolymer-containing composition: CX1X3?CX2R(—CZ1Z2-A0)m??(I) wherein X1 and X3 are each independently F, Cl, H, or CF3; X2 is H, F, an alkyl group, or a fluorine-containing alkyl group; A0 is an anionic group; R is a linking group; Z1 and Z2 are each independently H, F, an alkyl group, or a fluorine-containing alkyl group; and m is an integer of 1 or more.

Abstract: A method for producing a polytetrafluoroethylene powder, which includes subjecting tetrafluoroethylene to suspension polymerization in an aqueous medium to prepare a suspension-polymerized particle of non melt-processible polytetrafluoroethylene, drying the suspension-polymerized particle to prepare a dry particle, subjecting the dry particle to fluorine radical treatment to prepare a fluorine radical-treated particle, and crushing the fluorine radical-treated particle to produce a polytetrafluoroethylene powder. Also disclosed is a polytetrafluoroethylene formed article obtained by forming the polytetrafluoroethylene powder, as well as a polytetrafluoroethylene compression-molded article obtained by compression molding the polytetrafluoroethylene powder.

Abstract: A composition containing polytetrafluoroethylene and substantially free from a compound represented by Formula (3): (H—(CF2)8—SO3)qM2 wherein M2 is H, a metal atom, NR54 (where R5s may be the same as or different from each other and are each H or an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms), an imidazolium optionally having a substituent, a pyridinium optionally having a substituent, or a phosphonium optionally having a substituent, and q is 1 or 2. Also disclosed is a molded boy including the composition.

Abstract: A method for producing an aqueous dispersion of purified polytetrafluoroethylene, the method including: removing or reducing a compound represented by Formula (1) or (2) below from an aqueous dispersion of polytetrafluoroethylene obtained using a hydrocarbon surfactant: (H—(CF2)m—COO)pM1; or??Formula (1): (H—(CF2)n—SO3)qM2.??Formula (2): Also disclosed is a composition containing polytetrafluoroethylene substantially free from a compound represented by Formula (3) below and a molded body including the composition: (H—(CF2)8—SO3)qM2.

Abstract: A method for producing a polytetrafluoroethylene powder, which includes applying an ultrasonic wave to a polytetrafluoroethylene aqueous dispersion containing polytetrafluoroethylene particles to coagulate the polytetrafluoroethylene particles.

Abstract: A process for preparing ground resin particles is provided by modifying a jet mill with opposed fluidized bed. By using a jet mill having a plurality of jet nozzles disposed at predetermined positions in a barrel of a grinding chamber toward the injection point of the grinding chamber and a bottom wall having a flat surface in part or in whole, parallel to the jet nozzles, or having a conical projection immediately below the injection point, resin particles to be ground are jetted with or without water, thereby being ground to obtain ground resin particles of an intended particle size.
