In thin layers of Teflon AF, FluoroPel V-polymer or CYTOP, for example, while no field is applied the surface will be extremely hydrophobic and a droplet of water will try to ' stay away ' from the surface, resulting in a droplet with steep walls.

Dobson's use of Teflon on all bearing surfaces and the large diameter of the bearings created a smooth action with a moderate amount of friction, so that a clamp mechanism is not necessary to prevent unintentional motion of the telescope.

The main attribute of a Dobsonian's mount is that resembles a " gun carriage " configuration with a " rocker box " consisting of a horizontal trunnion style altitude axis and a broadly supported azimuth axis, both making use of material such as plastic, Formica, and Teflon to achieve smooth operation.

The most effective modern fluid barrier is trade-named Gore-Tex, and consists of an expanded felt or mesh of polytetrafluoroethylene ( trade name Teflon ).

Dental floss is made of either a bundle of thin nylon filaments or a plastic ( Teflon or polyethylene ) or a silk ribbon used to remove food and dental plaque from teeth.

Three types of such polymers are commercially available: FluoroPel hydrophobic and superhydrophobic V-series polymers are sold by Cytonix, CYTOP is sold by Asahi Glass Co., and Teflon AF is sold by DuPont.

A cheaper, Teflon coated pan is available in many stores.

The term comes from Teflon, the brand name by DuPont of a " non-stick " chemical used on cookware.

In 1938, polytetrafluoroethylene ( DuPont brand name Teflon ) was discovered by accident by a recently-hired DuPont Ph. D., Roy J. Plunkett.

Companies who have used DRTV for these purposes include DuPont ( Teflon ), Hamilton-Beach, Space Bag, Rubbermaid, P & G, Toyota, Philips Consumer Electronics, Bissell, Evinrude, and Sears ( Craftsman brand ).

** PTFE, Polytetrafluoroethylene ( Teflon )

Important halogenated polymers include polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ), and polytetrafluoroethene ( PTFE, or Teflon ).

Roy J. Plunkett ( June 26, 1910 – May 12, 1994 ) was the chemist who discovered polytetrafluoroethylene ( PTFE ), or Teflon by DuPont, in 1938.

* Many patents proposed use perfluoropolymers to reduce friction between metal parts, such as PTFE ( Teflon ), or micronized PTFE.

* An electrical cord with heat-resistant Teflon ( PTFE ) insulation ;

Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, polytetrafluoroethylene ( otherwise known as PTFE or Teflon ) or a plastic polymer ( such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene ).

Other haloalkenes have been chemical building blocks of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (" vinyl " or PVC, polymerized chloroethene ) and Teflon ( duPont trademark for polymerized tetrafluoroethene, PTFE ).

Other hose materials include PTFE ( Teflon ), stainless steel and other metals.

PTFE or Teflon was invented in 1938 and is can be refined for use in the medical industry for prolonged contact with skin.

* PTFE ( polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon )

Teflon ® coatings are specially formulated finishes that are based on PTFE, PFA, FEP, and ETFE fluorocarbon resins.

Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal, and is comparable to that of polytetrafluoroethylene ( PTFE, Teflon ), but UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance than PTFE.

The more successful dripless seals are made from Carbon or PTFE ( Teflon ).

* Polytetrafluoroethylene ( PTFE / Teflon )

The struts and occluders are made out of either pyrolytic carbon or titanium coated with pyrolytic carbon, and the sewing ring cuff is Teflon ( PTFE ), polyester or dacron.

* 1938 – The process for making poly-tetrafluoroethylene, better known as Teflon discovered by Roy Plunkett

The term was coined by The Specials ' keyboardist Jerry Dammers, who — with the assistance of Horace Panter and graphic designer John " Teflon " Sims — created the iconic Walt Jabsco logo ( a man in a black suit, white shirt, black tie, pork pie hat, white socks and black loafers ) to represent the 2 Tone genre.

Robert Gore was granted on April 27, 1976, for a porous form of polytetrafluoroethylene ( the chemical constituent of Teflon ) with a micro-structure characterized by nodes interconnected by fibrils.

The four Hackmaster characters most often used by the Knights themselves — Brian's Teflon Billy, Dave's El Ravager, Bob's Knuckles the Sixth, King of the Wallclimbers and Sara's Thorina -- have also been turned into gamebooks under the Lost Worlds system, published by Flying Buffalo.

" Dry " lubricants, often containing wax or Teflon, are transported by an evaporating solvent, and stay cleaner in use.

Significant contributions to modern stapedectomy techniques were then made by the late Dr. Antonio De La Cruz of the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles ; by the late Professor Henri André Martin of the Hôpital Edouard Herriot in Lyon, France, including calibrated platinotomy ( stapes footplate rather than whole surgery ) and trans-footplate piston surgery that also paved the way for modern stapedotomy ; and by the late Dr. Jean-René Causse of the eponymous clinic in Béziers, France, who pioneered the use of Teflon piston prostheses ( also critical progress for stapedotomy ) and, with his late son Dr. Jean-Bernard Causse, the reattachment of the stapedius muscle alongside the use of veinous grafts.

The Vision of the Anointed is a book by economist and political columnist Thomas Sowell challenging people Sowell calls " Teflon prophets ," who predict that there will be future social, economic, or environmental problems in the absence of government intervention ( Ralph Nader is one of his foremost examples ).
