Abstract
Abstract A composite material including a rubber elastomer substrate and a polytetrafluoroethylene resin film or sheet having a porosity of 20 to 95% by volume and being laminated on at least one portion of the rubber elastomer substrate. In one preferred embodiment, a process for the production of the composite material includes the step of laminating a vulcanizable rubber elastomer with a porous film or sheet of polytetrafluoroethyle resin at a temperature and pressure sufficient to effect vulcanization of the rubber elastomer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A composite material comprising a vulcanized rubber elastomer substrate laminated with a porous film or sheet of polytetrafluoroethylene resin wherein said porous resin film or sheet forms a layer having a thickness of between 0.05 mm and 5 mm on the surface of the elastomer substrate, said porous resin surface layer having a porosity of between 20 and 95% by volume, the pores of which are at least partially filled with vulcanized rubber elastomer, said composite material being obtained by superimposing said porous resin film or sheet on a vulcanizable rubber elastomer substrate and subjecting said superimposed elastomer substrate to heat and pressure sufficient to effect vulcanization of the rubber elastomer substrate and adhesion between the porous resin film or sheet and the elastomer substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
