Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene molding powder which comprises 0.01 to 1% by weight of a perfluoro(vinyl ether) unit and which has a heat of crystallization of 18.0 to 25.0 J/g. The molding powder provides a molded article which has a flex life of not less than 7 million cycles, a creep resistance (total deformation at 200.degree. C.) of not more than 20%, and a creep resistance (total deformation at 25.degree. C.) of not more than 15%. The polytetrafluoroethylene molding powder which is excellent in both creep resistance and flex fatigue resistance is provided as a molding material for parts which are repeatedly bent such as pump.

Abstract: N-[1-(Thienyl)alkyl]amine derivative of the formula: ##STR1## which has excellent herbicidal activity against lowland annual weeds and upland weeds, can be prepared by reacting a thiophen derivative of the formula: ##STR2## with an aldehyde of the formula:ACHOand an amide of the formula:NH.sub.2 --CO--Rin the presence of formic acid or a mixture of formic acid with phosphoric acid wherein Z is halogen, alkyl or alkoxy group; (n) is 0, 1 or 2; A is hydrogen or alkyl group; R is alkyl group, group of the formula: ##STR3## in which X and Y are hydrogen, alkyl group, haloalkyl group, alkoxy group, alkoxymethyl group or halogen, or group of the formula: ##STR4## in which Z and (n) are the same as defined above.

Abstract: A fluorine-containing benzophenone derivative of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a group of the formula: --OM (in which M is hydrogen or alkali metal), lower alkoxy, lower acyloxy, a group of the formula: ##STR2## (in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are same or different and hydrogen or lower alkyl) or a group of the formula: --OCH.sub.2 COOR.sup.5 (in which R.sup.5 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or alkali metal); R.sup.2 is halogen, nitro, chlorosulfonyl, sulfo, trifluoromethyl or a group of the formula: --SCF.sub.2 H; and m and n are each an integer of 1 to 4 provided that the sum of m and n is not more than 5 having selective herbicidal activities on grasses and crops.
