Studies at the Lewis Research Center of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration22 and at the Frankford Arsenal of the U.S. Army23 have shown that poly(carbon monofluoride) is a superior solid lubricant under heavy loads, in high temperatures, in oxidizing atmospheres, and under other extreme conditions. Researchers at the U.S. Army Electronics Command at Fort Monmouth, N.J.24 25 and industrial scientists in Japan have recently demonstrated a high potential for the use of poly(carbon monofluoride) as a cathode material in high-energy batteries.

Run-Down Method. A statistical testing procedure developed at Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia (Ref 1) which produces a more complete frequency and probability of reaction curve than the Bruceton, up-and-down, or staircase methods (see under Impact, Initiation of Explosion by in Vol 7, 136-R to I37-L). Although a larger number of tests is used than in the latter procedures, the method makes possible a better evaluation of the distribution of the population.
