MICROPOROUS METAL-PLATED POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE ARTICLES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE.

摘要

Microporous polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) articles, having a microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils also having continuous interporous metal coatings which encapsulate the nodes and fibrils of the PTFE while maintaining substantial porosity are disclosed, together with a method of producing temporary liquid-filled hydrophilic microporous article resulting in an improved metal plating manufacturing process.
