Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to polymer powders, preferably fluoropolymer powders such as polyvinylidene fluoride (such as Kynar® resins from Arkema Inc.), polyvinyl fluoride, and poly-ethylene-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene, useful for a high-solids liquid slurry. The PVDF has a narrow average particle size of from 20 to 100 microns, with less than 20 weight percent of particles outside this range. This powder can be used to form slurries having from 30 to 60 weight percent solids, the liquid slurries formed being free-flowing. The free-flowing slurries are useful in forming membranes in a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process.
