Abstract
Graphite fluoride, such as (CF).sub.n or (C.sub.2 F).sub.n, in powder form coated with a vinylic polymer, e.g. polymethyl methacrylate, which is bonding to the surfaces of the graphite fluoride particles by graft polymerization. The polymer-coated graphite fluoride retains unique properties of graphite fluoride such as high lubricating ability, can readily be dispersed in water and organic liquids, and can readily be press-shaped with or without the addition of a synthetic resin powder. The polymer-coated graphite fluoride is prepared by dispersing graphite fluoride in powder form and at least one vinylic monomer which undergoes radical polymerization in a mixture of water and either a water-soluble organic solvent or a surface-active agent, and then adding a polymerization initiator to the aqueous dispersion. The polymerization reaction takes place even at room temperature and can be promoted by heating up to 70.degree. C.
