NANOCLAY FILLED FLUOROPOLYMER DISPERSIONS AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein is an aqueous dispersion and a method for making said dispersion, and more particularly, a dispersion that comprises a nanoclay such as a tubular clay (e.g. halloysite), a fluoropolymer and the requisite surfactants for dispersion stability. In various embodiments, and applications thereof to substrates and the like, the dispersion improves the manufacturability of articles that include coating fluoropolymer dispersions while retaining the unique properties of the fluoropolymer coating.
