    Application
    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) serves a wide array of purposes due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties. Made from the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, PTFE is a white, slippery solid known for its low friction and resistance to heat and chemical attack. These properties make it an ideal choice for applications requiring stability under extreme conditions. It is widely used in industries to create bearings, valve seats, packings, gaskets, coatings, and tubing that can withstand harsh environments. Additionally, PTFE is invaluable in the cosmetics industry as a bulking agent and for improving the feel and spreadability of products. Its waterproofing potential further enhances its applicability. PTFE's non-adhesive nature is also leveraged in coating applications, such as for cookware, to prevent material adherence. With excellent electrical properties, it is a preferred material when a high-temperature dielectric is necessary.

    Free Radical Trapping Behavior of Polytetrafluoroethylene Powder Under Electron Beam Irradiation

    Oshima, Akihiro, et al. Scientific reports, 2021, 11, 1, 10907.

    The effect of irradiation temperature on the radiation-induced fracture reaction of PTFE was discussed from the perspective of free radical trapping behavior.
    · The higher the irradiation temperature, the higher the chain scission efficiency based on C-C bonds.
    · When PTFE is irradiated in an oxygen-free atmosphere, DEA induces the generation of fluoroalkyl radicals.
    · The main chain scission, which is induced by fluoroalkyl radicals, occurs with the β-scission producing Rf -CF3, Rf -CF = CF2 and an end-chain radical.
    · The free radicals captured in PTFE are mainly medium-chain peroxide radicals captured in the crystalline region and quasicrystalline region, or at the interface and interchain region of PTFE.
    · End-chain radicals generated by β-cleavage after dissociative electron attachment (DEA) induce a chain reaction of backbone defluorination, which is enhanced by synergistic thermal and radiation effects.
