What is claimed is:
1. A porous polytetrafluoro-ethylene PTFE/polymer composition prepared by a process comprising:
- (a) contacting PTFE with a fluid which penetrates and swells but does not significantly dissolve the polymer or eliminate viscoelastic memory therefrom, at a temperature in the range of about 250°-400° C.;
- (b) cooling and separating the penetrated polymer from unabsorbed fluid, said polymer containing up to about 80% by weight of absorbed fluid; and
- (c) removing the absorbed fluid, to form a porous product having a single DSC melting endotherm, the melting point being in the range of about 315° to 333° C. with an associated heat of fusion of at least 35 J/g.
