A Study on Commercial Polytetrafluoroethylene as a High Potential Polymer

Abstract:

PTFE is a polymer of the type of Teflon. This polymer is from fluoropolymer family and made from monomer tetrafluoroethylene by polymerization. PTFE have properties that make them very useful in many application such as high melting point, extremely low friction of coefficient, very good chemical resistance, maximum mechanical resistance, non reactive polymer and good insulation properties. Therefore, this paper will report the study on commercial PTFE as an excellent remarkable polymer. The characterization will take over to analysis this polymer, respectively via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infra - Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). It was found that PTFE have spherical shape like branches with crystalline phase.
