ABSTRACT:
In an exemplary embodiment, the present method includes the stops of providing a polymer resin to be processed: blending particulate boron nitride (BN) and a fluorine-containing polymer with said polymer resin to provide a resin blend: heating said resin blend to obtain a desired flowability value: and processing said resin blend into a desired shape.
