ABSTRACT:
A fluoropolymer is modified by contacting it with a modifying composition preparable from components comprising a phase transfer catalyst and at least one of a sulfide or disulfide salt, and heating the modifying composition. The modified fluoropolymer is useful in the preparation of composite articles.
