The invention relates to fluoropolymer composites having a fluoropolymer matrix containing a functionalized fluoropolymer composition, and reinforced with fibers. The fibers can be chopped fibers, long fibers, or a mixture thereof, and the fluoropolymer matrix preferably is based on polyvinylidene fluoride. Any type of fibers, sized or unsized may be used with the functionalized fluoropolymer matrix composition to form the fluoropolymer composite.

The present invention relates to the preparation of a thermoplastic fluoropolymer blend composition exhibiting improved mechanical properties upon fabrication. The fluoropolymer blend composite on is produced by blending an emulsion latex of fluoropolymer (A) with an emulsion latex of fluorinated copolymer (B). Copolymer (B) emulsion has a small particle size, super high MW, and a low degree of crystallinity. The blending of the latex emulsions results in a morphology with small particles of copolymer (B) uniformly distributed within a matrix of fluoropolymer (A) in a manner that could not be achieved by a mere melt blending of the tow components.

A crosslinked fluororesin-coated pump rotor manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a pump rotor having flat rotor side surfaces and provided with a coating layer of a crosslinked fluororesin on each rotor side surface, the method including: screen-printing a dispersion liquid obtained by dispersing particles of a fluororesin in a solvent, on the rotor side surface by using a screen plate having an opening having a shape in which the opening does not protrude from an outer peripheral edge of the rotor side surface; then heating the pump rotor to a temperature equal to or higher than a melting point of the fluororesin to bake the fluororesin on the rotor side surface; and then irradiating the fluororesin with radiation to crosslink the fluororesin.
