Solution Overview

Problem

Existing compositions containing fluororesins face issues with agglomeration when the proportion of fluororesin is increased, leading to poor appearance in strands.

Innovation Solution

A composition is formulated with a specific ratio of fluororesin A and resin B, where the melt flow rate of resin B is 30 g/10 min or higher, and the ratio of fluororesin A to resin B's melt flow rate is adjusted to 0.2 to 10, enhancing compatibility and preventing agglomeration.

1Reliability

If the proportion of fluororesin is increased, then the performance benefits of fluororesin are improved, but fluororesin agglomeration occurs leading to poor strand appearance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the melt flow rate ratio between fluororesin A and resin B. By adjusting this parameter to fall within the range of 0.03 to 10, the composition achieves optimal compatibility and dispersion, preventing fluororesin agglomeration while maintaining high fluororesin content for desired performance benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining fluororesin A with specific resin B materials (polyester, polyamide, polyether, or polyolefin resins) in controlled proportions. This composite approach leverages the complementary properties of both materials to achieve uniform dispersion and prevent agglomeration of the fluororesin phase.

2Reliability

If the proportion of fluororesin is increased, then the functional properties are improved, but strand appearance deteriorates due to agglomeration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional propertiesVSAvoidstrand appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent controls the melt flow rate ratio parameter to prevent fluororesin agglomeration. By maintaining the ratio (MFR of fluororesin A)/(MFR of resin B) within 0.03 to 10, the composition ensures uniform distribution of fluororesin, resulting in smooth strand appearance while preserving high functional properties through adequate fluororesin content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Resin B acts as an intermediary matrix that disperses fluororesin A uniformly. The specific selection of resin B materials (polyester, polyamide, polyether, or polyolefin) and control of their melt flow rate creates a compatible matrix that prevents fluororesin aggregation, ensuring both good appearance and functional performance.
