The present invention is a modified polytetrafluoroethylene powder which has (1) a dielectric loss tangent at 12 GHz of not higher than 2.0 x 10 -4 and (2) a cylinder extrusion pressure of not higher than 45 MPa at a reduction ratio of 1600.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a polytetrafluoroethylene aqueous dispersion containing high-molecular-weight, significantly small polytetrafluoroethylene particles and having excellent dispersion stability. The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion containing polytetrafluoroethylene particles containing a tetrafluoroethylene unit alone or a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a modifying monomer unit based on a modifying monomer copolymerizable with the tetrafluoroethylene. The polytetrafluoroethylene particles have a volume average particle size of not smaller than 0.1 nm but smaller than 20 nm, a melt flow rate of not lower than 0 g/10 min but lower than 80 g/10 min determined at 380°C and 5 kg load, a melting point of 324°C to 360°C, and an initial pyrolysis temperature of not lower than 400°C.

The polytetrafluoroethylene powder includes polytetrafluoroethylene containing a tetrafluoroethylene unit alone or a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a modifying monomer unit based on a modifying monomer copolymerizable with the tetrafluoroethylene, and has a specific surface area of 32 m 2 /g or larger.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for producing a fluoropolymer aqueous dispersion having a significantly small particle size and excellent dispersion stability. The present invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous dispersion containing at least one fluoropolymer selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene and melt-fabricable fluororesins excluding polytetrafluoroethylene. The method includes polymerizing a fluoromonomer in an aqueous medium in the presence of a fluorosurfactant and a polymerization initiator. The fluorosurfactant has a concentration in the aqueous medium of not lower than 0.8 times the critical micelle concentration of the fluorosurfactant.
