General description
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer that is commercially known as PTFE. Its properties include high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, low dielectric constant and low surface energy. It is a hydrophobic polymer that is majorly used as a protective coating on the metal surface.
Application
Inert lubricant.
Suitability
Low coefficient of friction, low critical surface energy and excellent antistick properties.

The synthesis of enantiopure molecules from achiral precursors without the need for pre-existing chirality is a major challenge associated with the origin of life. We here show that an enantiopure product can be obtained from achiral starting materials in a

Multicapillary column ion-mobility spectrometry (MCC-IMS) may identify volatile components in exhaled gas. The authors therefore used MCC-IMS to evaluate exhaled gas in a rat model of sepsis, inflammation, and hemorrhagic shock. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and ventilated via tracheostomy

Despite recent progress in preparing numerous types of nanosheets, it remains a difficult challenge to assemble the tiny building blocks into functional macroscale architectures suitable for practical applications. Here we introduce a diffusion driven layer-by-layer assembly process and demonstrate its
