Question

properties of Teflon

Answer 1

hey

how r u?

PTFE properties include high molecular weight, hydrophobility, low coefficient of friction, thermoplasticity, good dielectric properties, high electronegativity, and low chemical reactivity.

The high molecular weight is a function of being a polymer. The number of mers (sub units) in PTFE is essentially infinite and can be considered to be the size of the object that is being formed or coated with PTFE.

PTFE is hydrophobic - water hating. Water, alcohols, and other highly polar oxygen and hydroxyl containing compound will not adhere to, absorb on, adsorb on, or wet Teflon because of the high electronegativity of the fluorine atoms and the size of the polymer orbital formed and the number of electrons in the polymer orbital. This property is a result of the high electronegativity of the polymer structure.

Teflon has a very low coefficient of friction. Coefficient of friction measures how easily a standard sized block of material will slide down a flat surface of a given material. The low coefficient of friction makes Teflon ideal for nonstick food cooking.
