A fluororesin heated at a temperature at or above the melting point of the resin is exposed in an inert gas atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of not more than 10 Torr to an ionizing radiation at a radiation dose of 0.1 kGy to 10 MGy to prepare a crosslinked fluororesin. The crosslinked fluororesin is exposed to an ionizing radiation at a radiation dose of 10 kGy to 5 MGy, and is then brought into contact with a functional group-containing organic compound to cause a graft reaction. By virtue of this constitution, a modified fluororesin is provided which has satisfactory mechanical strength and, at the same time, has, imparted thereto, for example, ion-exchange capacity, hydrophilicity, adhesive property, or abrasion resistance.

Modified fluororesin and process for producing the same

A fluoroplastic-based product having reduced friction and improved abrasion resistance having excellent abrasion resistance as well as good characteristics being inherent to fluoroplastics comprises a fluoroplastic molded material containing a modified fluoroplastic prepared by applying ionizing radiation to a fluoroplastic (I) heated at the melting point or a higher temperature under an inert gas atmosphere having 10 torr or less oxygen concentration within a range of irradiation doses of from 1 KGy to 10 MGy; and an unmodified fluoroplastic (II).

Product having reduced friction and improved abrasion resistance

In order to provide a cord switch which can securely catch the ON/OFF operations, can cancel an erroneous operation by preventing the contact between electrodes caused by bending of the cord switch, and have a positive sensibility for the pressurization in all directions and a high reliability, at least two wire electrodes are spirally arranged along the inner surface of an insulator which is hollowed in the cross section and comprises a restorative rubber or plastic material in the longitudinal direction in a situation where the wire electrodes are not electrically contacted each other, and the wire electrodes are fixed to the hollowed insulator in a state where the wire electrodes are projected from the insulator.

A product having reduced friction and improved abrasion resistance comprises a formed resin containing at least one fluorine-containing polymer which is exposed to an ionizing radiation. The formed resin may include from 1 to 100 weight percent of the fluorine-containing polymer in the form of powder, and from 99 to 0 percent of a high molecule polymer which is not exposed to the ionizing radiation. The fluorine-containing polymer is preferably exposed to the ionizing radiation for a total dose of from 1 KGy to 10 MGy in the absence of oxygen at a temperature not lower than the melting point of a starting fluorine-containing polymer.

In order to provide a crosslinking formed body having a low hardness and superior tensile characteristics and rubber properties, an ethylene-.alpha. olefin copolymer, polypropylene, and an organosilane compound are graft polymerized in the presence of a free radical generating agent to form a reaction product, the reaction product is formed into a desired shape formed body, and the formed body is crosslinked by being exposed to moisture in the presence of a silanol catalyst.

In an unshielded twisted pair cable, a predetermined number of pairs which are twisted by a predetermined lay-length are covered by a protective sheath. Insulations for insulating conductors for the pairs and the protective sheath are wholly or partially of halogen free polymer having a low dielectric loss tangent and flame-retarding properties. The insulations have a dielectric loss tangent of less than 1.times.10.sup.-2 at 150 MHz and a 2% modulus of at least 0.3 kgf/mm.sup.2.
