List these plastics in order of the year in which they were developed cellophane, celluloid, collodion, Parkesine, PVC, Teflon, viscose. 

In 1972 Du Pont introduced Teflon PFA, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluorofpropyl vinyl ether) (CF2 = CFOCF2CF2CF3). Similar materials are now also produeed by Asahi Glass, Daikin, Hoechst and Monteflos and are commonly referred to as PFA fluoropolymers. In 1994 Hoechst introduced Hostaflon PFA-N, claimed to have significantly lower melt viscosities than earlier grades of material. 

The reaction between TDI and castor oil is exothermic and bubbles are produced in the reaction mixture (castor oil contains a few tenths of a percent volatile material that will evaporate as the temperature of the reaction mixture goes up. Some of the bubbles produced are trapped in the mixture as the viscosity increases. Stirring with a teflon coated magnetic spin bar also produces some bubbles). In order to produce elastomers that are bubble free, the reaction is carried out in two stages. 

The viscosity of the reaction mixture is now too high for the final polymerization to be carried out in the same apparatus . For laboratory purposes simple metal forms are sufficient.They consist of two metal plates covered with a Teflon film. A temperature-and chemicals-resistant hose (e.g., VITON A) serves as sealing and distance control.The whole set-up is pressed together with clamps until a distance of about 5 mm is reached. When filled with the hot prepolymerization mixture they are heated in a vacuum oven under nitrogen ( ) according to the following program ... 

Collodion, Parkesine, celluloid, viscose yarn, cellophane, PVC, nylon, Teflon. 

In the most suitable test configuration for foods, the sample initially completely fills the gap between two coaxial horizontal discs, one attached to the base and the other to the crosshead, of a UTM-type solids rheometer. Lubrication between the sample and disc surfaces is achieved by Teflon coating the surfaces and/or deliberately lubricating the surfaces with a suitable liquid of very low viscosity. 

In each case, the catalyst was stored under argon in vials sealed with teflon tape and placed in a desslcator until use. To remove catalyst for use in reactions, the vial was warmed slightly, if necessary, to reduce the viscosity, and the desired amount of catalyst removed by pipette. Argon was then flushed through the catalyst remaining in the vial, which was then resealed and returned to the desslcator. 

Teflon FEP 100 Fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP) general purpose, medium viscosity, melt extrusion resin. 

To obtain the absolute sound attenuation in the coal slurry, the diffraction loss, the acoustic mismatch loss, the attenuation due to the Teflon window, and the oil coupling must be calculated. Thus, it is difficult to accurately determine the absolute attenuation. In practice, one measures the relative attenuation with respect to a standard. The attenuation of ultrasonic waves in a solid suspension is attributed to three major factors, namely, scattering, viscosity, and thermal effects. Although the presence of particles affects the fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity, the primary source of attenuation may be due to particle scattering. Hence, one may define the relative attenuation of the HYGAS coal slurry by comparing the slurry attenuation with that of the carrier fluid, i.e., the toluene/benzene mixture. This can be expressed by the equation... 

Known in Germany since 1933, polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTEE) is a semicrystalline resin (92-98% crystallinity), with T = 342°C and melt viscosity of 7 - 10 GPas. Others, more common fluoro-polymers are polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), Hostaflon commercialized in 1934, fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP), Teflon -FEP introduced in 1972, and numerous copolymers with Tjjj = 260 to 304°C, processable at = 315 to 425°C, and having the degradation temperature, deg 440°C. The fluoropolymers are... 

FIFE was first commercialized by DuPont, under the brand name Teflon. PTFE is a very highly crystalline polymer, extremely inert, an excellent barrier, and exhibits a very low coefficient of friction. Its glass transition temperature (Tg) is about -100°C, and its melt temperature is about 327 C (621°F). Flowever, its very high viscosity makes it very difficult to process. PTFE is used most often as a component in packaging equipment, such as providing a nonstick surface on heat sealers, rather than in packages themselves. 

This difference in bundle wetting at different laminating pressures was demonstrated by placing polished edges of a series of Teflon laminates, prepared at temperatures from 500-700°F, in a penetrant dye solution for 20 min. At the end of this time, the laminates were removed from the solution and wiped dry. The extent of lateral penetration of the dye into the laminate was measured and found to be a function of the laminating temperature. Less penetration was observed at 700°F, due to the lower resin viscosity and the resulting improved wetting ability of the binder. 

General Description Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), a melt-processable fluorocarbon, is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluo-ropropylene. Fluorinated ethylene propylene and TFE yield similar properties, with the exception ofTFE s lowermelt viscosity.fl 1 DuPont s high-performance material Teflon FEP film is a transparent, thermoplastic film.P ...
