Problems solved by technology

However, fluororesins are expensive and are inferior in moldability, workability, mechanical characteristics and creep characteristics, among others.
However, this technology, which consists in irradiating the surface of the moldings obtained by molding of a fluororesin with radiation and then bonding thereto a polyamide resin layer in the manner of lamination, is complicated in procedure and inferior from the economical viewpoint since it requires an irradiation apparatus.
However, that method has a problem.
Namely, due to the use of a polyamide resin and a fluorine resin, which are poor in mutual compatibility, as the adhesive layer, the morphology of the adhesive layer varies depending on the molding conditions, use temperature and other environmental conditions, so that the cohesive force within the adhesive layer and the bond strength between the adhesive layer and the neighboring layers change accordingly, hence no quality stability can be secured.
However, there is a problem in that even the use of this fluorine-containing ethylenic polymer results in unsatisfactory levels of bond strength.
These liquid chemicals are highly penetr...

Synthesis of a Carbonate Group-Containing, Fluorine-Containing Cohesive Ethylenic Polymer (F-A)

[0202] A 1,280-L autoclave was charged with 380 L of distilled water and, after thorough nitrogen substitution, further charged with 84 kg of perfluorocyclobutane, 166 kg of hexafluoropropylene and 0.5 kg of perfluoro(1,1,5-trihydro-1-pentene), and the system inside was maintained at 26° C. and at a rate of stirring of 200 rpm. Then, tetrafluoroethylene was charged into the autoclave under pressure until 0.86 MPa and, further, ethylene was charged thereinto until 0.92 MPa. The system inside temperature was raised to 35° C., followed by addition of 8.5 kg of a 50% methanol solution of di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate to initiate the polymerization reaction. The system inside pressure was maintained at 1.15 MPa by continuously feeding a mixed gas composed of tetrafluoroethylene, ethylene and hexafluoropropylene in the mole percentage ratio of 41.0:44.0:15.0, since otherwise the system inside p...

[0205] The same autoclave as used in Synthesis Example 1 was charged with 380 L of distilled water and, after thorough nitrogen substitution, further charged with 166 kg of perfluorocyclobutane, 84 kg of hexafluoropropylene and 0.3 kg of perfluoro(1,1,5-trihydro-1-pentene), and the system inside was maintained at 35° C. and at a rate of stirring of 200 rpm. Then, tetrafluoroethylene was charged into the autoclave under pressure until 0.88 MPa and, further, ethylene was charged thereinto until 0.94 MPa, followed by further addition of 9.0 kg of a 50% methanol solution of di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate to initiate the polymerization reaction. The system inside pressure was maintained at 0.94 MPa by continuously feeding a mixed gas composed of tetrafluoroethylene, ethylene and hexafluoropropylene in the mole percentage ratio of 46.0:44.0:10.0, since otherwise the system inside pressure would ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a fluoropolymer capable of giving fluorine-containing molded materials and laminates excellent in moldability, productivity, interlaminar bonding and stress cracking resistance, in particular stress cracking resistance upon contacting with various liquid chemicals, without impairing such characteristics intrinsic in fluororesins as chemical resistance, solvent resistance, weathering resistance, antifouling properties, liquid chemical impermeability and nonstickiness. The present invention provides a fluoropolymer which is an oligomer-containing or oligomer-free fluoropolymer, wherein said oligomer has a molecular weight not higher than 10,000 and amounts to not more than 0.05% by mass relative to the fluoropolymer.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a fluoropolymer as well as a fluorine-containing molded material, a laminate and a fluorine-containing fabricated article, each comprising the fluoropolymer. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Fluororesins are excellent in such characteristics as heat resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, mold release characteristics, lubricating properties and liquid chemical impermeability. However, fluororesins are expensive and are inferior in moldability, workability, mechanical characteristics and creep characteristics, among others. To solve these problems, resin laminates comprising a fluororesin layer and a non-fluororesin material layer have been proposed. [0003] For example, Japanese Kokai Publication H05-8353 discloses a laminated tube comprising an outer layer made of a polyamide resin and an inside layer made of a fluororesin. This patent document discloses a technology comprising introducing a crosslinking structure between the pol...
