Examples of polytetrafluoroethylene
polytetrafluoroethylene
One of its most common uses is for processing polytetrafluoroethylene.

It is encapsulated by polytetrafluoroethylene, the same material from which most dialysis grafts are made.

Examples include polycarbonates, polyurethanes, silicones, polytetrafluoroethylene, carboxymethyl cellulose, and propylene oxide.

Fluoropolymers were discovered in 1938 by Dr. Roy Plunkett when he accidentally polymerized tetrafluoroethylene to form polytetrafluoroethylene.

Researchers have also been working with artificial veins made of Dacron or polytetrafluoroethylene, but have encountered problems with those as well.

The white base material for holding the stimuli was composed of chemically inert polytetrafluoroethylene plastic, often used in the food industry as cutting boards.

Mongooses were given grafts of a polytetrafluoroethylene-based polymer in an attempt to create a semi-permeable skin-like membrane which could be used to treat burn victims.

- Teflon: a material used to coat cooking utensils and in industrial applications where sticking is to be avoided
- In chemistry, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that finds numerous applications. PTFE is most well known by the DuPont brand name Teflon.
- This is the most thermally stable and chemically resistant of all carbonaceous insulating compounds. It is unaffected by sunlight, moisture, and practically all chemicals. ...
- (PTFE) The major advantages of this material are its excellent chemical resistance and its extremely low coefficient of friction; automotive uses are parts where these characteristics are relevant, such as in valve stem seals, friction bearings, and joints
- A fluorocarbon-based polymer with high chemical and weather resistance, low friction, and electrical and thermal insulation. The most common brand name is Teflon(r). PTFE's many construction applications include usage in hydraulic machinery and in ptimber's joint tape.
