A series of melt processible fluoropolymer resins including ETFE, PVF 2-TFE, ECTFE, PFA, and FEP containing reinforcing glass fiber, milled glass fiber, carbon fiber, minerals, graphite powder, and MoS2 have been prepared and characterized. The mechanical, physical, thermal and tribological properties of these composites have been compared and ranked for suitability in various applications. These composites represent the first comprehensive evaluation of reinforced and filled melt processible fluoropolymer composites.
