Abstract
A method for producing an electrically conducting melt-processible fluoropolymer comprising pulverizing a composition of (a) carbon aggregate and (b) coagulum particles of aqueous dispersion polymerized melt-processible fluoropolymer, coating the coagulum particle with the disintegrated particles of carbon black. The preferred composition comprises a structured carbon black such as acetylene black and a melt processible fluoropolymer wherein said melt processible fluoropolymer has two crystallization peaks in a DSC cooling curve when allowed to crystallize from a temperature of not less than its melting point at a cooling rate of 12° C./min; and the ratio of the crystallization peak heights (high temperature side peak/low temperature side peak) is 0.65 or greater; and/or the ratio of the high temperature side crystallization peak area to the total area of the crystallization peaks [high temperature side peak area/(high temperature side peak area+low temperature side peak area)] is 0.18 or greater.
