Urokinase has been widely used for the clinical treatment of thrombogenetic disease and hemorrhoidal disease. Artificial organ materials, on which urokinase was immobilized for its fibrinolytic activity, have been developed for blood-compatible materials. For example, Liu et al. immobilized urokinase by encapsulation in poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and Kbnig et al. introduced urokinase on the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene using plasma modification technique by covalent bond. Another example of immobilized urokinase application was reported by Kato and coworkers, who had used mokinase immobilized in a Teflon catheter for treatment of thrombosis.

Polytetrafluoroethylene used in present measurements was commercial Teflon sample (from W. Germany). Contact angle measurements were conducted on 1 x 1 cm Teflon plates cut off from a larger Teflon plate. The plates were washed in HCl solution, doubly distilled water, then polished with a flannel, rinsed with doubly distilled water and washed in ultrasonic water bath. Next, they were dried in warm air, cooled to room temperature (20°C) and used for measurements.

In this paper we examine electron diffraction fiber patterns of the homopolymer polytetrafluoroethylene (-CF2 CF2-)n PTFE, in which the resolution is sufficient to yield much more accurate values of layer line heights than were available from the previous x-ray diffraction experiments (1) on the crystal structure of Phase II, the phase below the 19°C transition (2). On the basis of x-ray data, the molecule was assigned the conformation 13/6 or thirteen CF2 motifs regularly spaced along six turns of the helix. This is equivalent to a 132 screw axis. The relationship between the molecular conformation and the helical symmetry has been studied by Clark and Muus (3) and is illustrated in Figure 1. The electron diffraction data of high resolution enabled us to determine if this unusual 13-fold symmetry was exact or an approximation of the true symmetry. We have also... 

Let us consider one final example the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) relating to nanoscale scratch and indentation tests on short carbon-fibre-reinforced PEEK/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite blends (Han et al, 1999). In the scratch test, the tip was moved across the surface at constant velocity and fixed applied force to produce grooves with nanometre scale dimensions on the PEEK matrix surfaces. The grooves consisted of a central trough with pile-ups on each side. These grooves provide information about the deformation mechanisms and scratch resistance of the individual phases. In the nanoscale, indentation and...

Polytetrafluoroethylene is a fluoropolymer. The market for fluoropolymers worldwide is reported to be around 100,000 tonnes of which approximately 40% is consumed in the US and approximately 10% is consumed in Japan. PTFE accounts for some 70% of total demand for fluoropolymers which are increasingly being used because of their outstanding qualities.
