  1. Mr. Perez Leader: Nikolo Lim Members: Hans Cochangco Brendan Lim Mendoza Ramon Rillo Gerard Tecson Teflon or Carbon Fiber

  2. Carbon Fibre or Teflon is also known as polytetraflueroethylene or PTFE. The molecular structure of the Teflon is based on a chain of carbon atoms, the same as all polymers. Unlike some other flouropolymers, In Telfon, this chain is completely surrounded by flourine atoms. Carbon Fibre/Teflon

  3. Teflon The bond between carbon and flourine is very strong and the flourine atoms shield the vulnerable carbon chain. This unusual strutcure gives Teflon its unique properties. In adddition to its extreme slipperiness, it is inert to almost every known chemical.

  4. Telfon PTFE is sometimes said to be a spin-off from the US space program with more down-to-earth applications; this is an urban legend, as teflon cooking pans were commonplace before Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1961. PTFE was discovered serendipitously by Roy Plunkett of DuPont in 1938, while attempting to make a new CFC refrigerant, when the perfluorethylene polymerized in its storage container.

  5. Teflon DuPont patented it in 1941, and registered the Teflon trademark in 1944. Teflon has been supplemented with another DuPont product, Silverstone, a three-coat fluoropolymer system that produces a more durable finish than Teflon. Silverstone was released in 1976.

  6. Other names -polytetrafluoroethylene -IUPAC
