Abstract
Copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro(ethyl vinyl ether) having perfluoro(ethyl vinyl ether) content of at least 3 wt % exhibit excellent toughness even at melt viscosities of no greater than 25.times.10.sup.3 Pa.s. The copolymers can advantageously be made by aqueous dispersion copolymerization of the monomers in the absence of alkaline buffer and preferably in the absence of organic solvent.
