3. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

   Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert. [3] The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, [4] a spin-off from DuPont, which originally invented the compound in 1938. [4]

4. Photonic-crystal fiber - Wikipedia

   Alternatively, one can create a photonic bandgap photonic crystal fiber, in which the light is confined by a photonic bandgap created by the microstructured cladding—such a bandgap, properly designed, can confine light in a lower-index core and even a hollow (air) core. Bandgap fibers with hollow cores can potentially circumvent limits ...

5. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

   PTFE tape used for different sized fittings PTFE tape for natural gas. There are two US standards for determining the quality of any thread seal tape. MIL-T-27730A (an obsolete military specification still commonly used in industry in the US) requires a minimum thickness of 3.5 mils and a minimum PTFE purity of 99%. [3]

6. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

   The modern non-stick pans were made using a coating of Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE). PTFE was invented serendipitously by Roy Plunkett in 1938, [3] [4] while working for a joint venture of the DuPont company. The substance was found to have several unique properties, including very good corrosion-resistance and the lowest ...

7. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   The lightning rod requires a connection to the earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips, or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum.

8. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

   The insulator has a groove near the top just below the crown. The conductor passes through this groove and is tied to the insulator with annealed wire of the same material as the conductor. Pin-type insulators are used for transmission and distribution of communication signals, and electric power at voltages up to 33 kV.

9. ETFE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETFE

   This is because ETFE has better mechanical toughness than PTFE. In addition, ETFE exhibits a high-energy radiation resistance and can withstand moderately high temperatures for a long period. Commercially deployed brand names of ETFE include Tefzel by DuPont, Fluon by Asahi Glass Company, Neoflon ETFE by Daikin, and Texlon by Vector Foiltec.
