Abstract: A binder for a battery electrode comprising a vinyl fluoride-based copolymer. The vinyl fluoride-based copolymer preferably comprises about 25 to about 85 mol % vinyl fluoride and about 75 to about 15 mol % of at least one other fluorine-containing monomer. In a preferred embodiment, the binder comprises a mixture of at least two types of vinyl fluoride-based copolymers. In another embodiment the binder comprises a vinyl fluoride-based copolymer and at least one other fluorine-based polymer. The binder can be dispersed in water or organic solvent to form a paste for binding electrode materials to current collectors for battery electrode fabrication. Battery electrodes with improved adhesion strength and electrochemical stability result.

Abstract: A one layer coating system has been developed for plastic substrates. The one coating system low reflective layer consists of VF2/TFE/HFP, VF2/HFP, VF2/TFE/PMVE.

Abstract: A sol-gel coating composition comprising fluoropolymer particles is disclosed. The fluoropolymer particles are distributed homogeneously in the coating, leading to scratch-resistant anti-stick and low-friction coatings that are suitable, for example, for electrical and non-electrical domestic appliances.

Abstract: Coatings containing fluoropolymers and fluorinated telomers have been developed. The coatings are suitable for coating plastic substrates and are suitable for use in applications wherein relatively low reflectivity is desired.

Abstract: A heat sealable tape of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and at least about 15% by weight of a highly fluorinated monomer. The copolymer has a melt viscosity of no greater than about 1000 Pa·S at 372° C. and an application temperature of no greater than about 250° C. The invention further provides for a seam formed from two sections of sheet material, especially fabric, wherein each sheet has at least one fluoropolymer surface. The sections are sealed one to the other by application of heat sealable composition over one fluoropolymer surface of each section. The heat sealable composition comprises a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and at least about 15% by weight of a highly fluorinated monomer, the copolymer having a melt viscosity of no greater than about 1000 Pa·S at 372° C. and an application temperature of no greater than about 250° C.
