Abstract: An injection molding process to mold a fluorinated thermoplastic elastomeric polymer composition is disclosed. An article made using the process has little shrinkage.

Abstract: A composition for a thermoplastic material including: 0 to 70% by weight, preferably 20 to 60% by weight, of short reinforcing fibers, 30 to 100% by weight, preferably 40 to 80% by weight, of a thermoplastic matrix based on at least one semi-crystalline polyamide polymer, 0 to 50% of additives and/or other polymers, the semi-crystalline polyamide polymer being: a) a reactive composition including at least one reactive precursor polyamide prepolymer of said semi-crystalline polyamide polymer, or as an alternative to a), b) a non-reactive composition of at least one polyamide polymer, the composition being that of the thermoplastic matrix defined above, and the reactive polyamide prepolymer of composition a) and the polyamide polymer of composition b) including of at least one BACT/XT copolyamide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising a blend of at least two fluoropolymers. The first fluoropolymer has from 0 to 30 weight percent of a monomer J selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropene (HFP), fluorinated or perfluorinated vinyl ethers, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro propene or combinations thereof. The second fluoropolymer has at least 30 weight percent, preferably at least 35 weight percent, of monomer T selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropene (HFP), fluorinated or perfluorinated vinyl ethers, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro propene or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Composite materials are described herein. The composite materials include a polymer matrix comprising at least one fluorinated homo- or copolymer and continuous fibers dispersed within the polymer matrix. The continuous fibers are present within the composite material in an amount between about 10 wt % and about 90 wt % of a weight of the composite material. The composite materials also include a filler dispersed within the polymer matrix. The filler is present within the composite material in an amount between about 5 wt % and about 25 wt % of an amount of the polymer matrix.
