The fluoropolymer is formed using a fluorinated monomer that provides the fluoropolymer with most or all of the fluorine atoms not directly covalently attached to an atom of the fluoropolymer backbone. The fluoropolymer can also include a non-fluorinated hydrophilic monomer in a weight amount greater than the fluorinated monomer. The fluoropolymer composition also includes an ultraviolet light (UV)-reactive group capable of covalent bonding to promotes formation of the fluorinated polymeric article. The fluorinated polymeric article can be in the form of a durable lubricious coating on the surface of an implantable medical device. Coatings of the invention exhibit excellent wet/dry lubricity, durability, and controlled swelling.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Surmodics, Inc.Inventor: Emily R. Rolfes Meyering

Publication number: 20150009674Abstract: Thermal management techniques and methods for various types of structures that require a thermal property, such as thermal conductivity and/or flame retardance, and have a surface in proximity to a source of thermal energy. Such a structure includes a substrate formed of a metallic material or a thermally conductive plastic material, and a white fluoropolymer layer directly on a surface of the substrate without a discrete adhesive layer therebetween. The white fluoropolymer layer defines an outermost surface of the structure, has a reflectivity of greater than 95%, and has a thickness sufficient to inhibit degradation of the thermal property of the structure resulting from impingement of the surface by the thermal energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2013Publication date: January 8, 2015Inventors: Dengke CAI, Thomas CLYNNE, Péter JEZSOVICZKI, Mark Edward KAMINSKI, Elizabeth Anne SKIERSKI, Tomislav J.
