    Abstract: The use of compatible, semi-miscible or miscible polymer compositions as support structures for the 3D printing of objects, including those made from polyether-block-amide copolymers such as PEBAX® block copolymers from Arkema, polyamides such as RILSAN® polyamides from Arkema, polyether ketone ketone such as KEPSTAN® PEKK from Arkema, and fluoropolymers, such a KYNAR® PVDF from Arkema, especially objects of polyvinylidene fluoride and its copolymers. One particularly useful miscible polymer is an acrylic polymer, which is miscible with the fluoropolymer in the melt. The support structure composition provides the needed adhesion to the build plate and to the printed object and support strength during the 3D printing process, yet it is removable after the fluoropolymer object has cooled. The support polymer composition is selected to be stiff and low warping, yet flexible enough to be formed into filaments.

    Abstract: A composite polymer process aid is provided. The process aid includes one or more inorganic mineral fillers and one or functionalized polymers. The functionalized polymers include at least one base polymer functionalized with an epoxy, hydroxyl, β-keto ester, β-keto amide, or carboxylic acid reactive functional group. The composite polymer process aid is in the form of a plurality of individual particles. At least a portion of the individual particles include both inorganic mineral fillers and the functionalized polymers. The composite polymer modifier is formed by a process of: i) blending an aqueous solution, an aqueous dispersion, an aqueous suspension, an aqueous slurry, or a dry powder of the mineral fillers with an aqueous solution, an aqueous dispersion, an aqueous suspension or an aqueous emulsion of the functionalized polymers to form an aqueous blend, and ii) powderizing the aqueous blend to form the composite polymer process aid.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluoropolymer-acrylic coating composition that can be used, for example, in coating electrodes and/or separators in electrochemical devices. A coated separator for a lithium ion battery contains the porous separator substrate, and coatings on at least one side of the separator. The coating consists of an inorganic coating on at least one side of the separator, and an adhesive organic coating on at least one side of the inorganic coating or the separator. The organic coating contains an improved fluoropolymer-acrylic composition or a mixture of fluoropolymer and acrylic. The present invention can improve the adhesion of the coated separator to electrodes.
