Abstract
Example implementations relate to metal fluoropolymer composites. In an example, a metal fluoropolymer composite includes a metal substrate including an opening in a face of the metal substrate, a porous fluoropolymer layer disposed on the face of the metal substrate and overlaying the opening, and a fabric layer disposed on the porous fluoropolymer layer, where the metal fluoropolymer composites is permeable to air but impermeable to liquid water.
Claims15
A metal fluoropolymer composite, comprising:
- a metal substrate including an opening in a face of the metal substrate;
- a porous fluoropolymer layer disposed on the face of the metal substrate and overlaying the opening;
- and
- a fabric layer disposed on the porous fluoropolymer layer, wherein the metal fluoropolymer composite is permeable to air but impermeable to liquid water.
An electronic device, comprising:
- an electrical circuit;
- a housing exterior to the electrical circuit, the housing formed of a metal fluoropolymer composite comprised of:
- a metal substrate including a plurality of openings in a face of the metal substrate;
- a porous fluoropolymer layer disposed on the face of the metal substrate and overlaying each opening of the plurality of openings;
- and
- a fabric layer disposed on the porous fluoropolymer layer, wherein the metal fluoropolymer composite is permeable to air but impermeable to liquid water.
A method of manufacture of a metal fluoropolymer composite, comprising:
- coupling a fabric layer to a porous fluoropolymer layer to form a laminate;
- providing a metal substrate including an opening in a face of the metal substrate;
- and
- coupling the laminate to the face of the metal substrate to overlay the opening and form a metal fluoropolymer composite that is permeable to air but impermeable to liquid water.
