Teflon

YES it can, do not buy Jamie Olivers products, it is him who has done this to society!

What is he thinking about with his school dinners? All these kids dying at the age of 25, it is because of this vulgar man!

VOTE Chuck Norris!!!!!

Teflon was discovered accidentally by chemist Dr. Roy Plunkett in 1938 while he was researching new refrigerants. He found a white waxy substance that was durable, non-reactive, and had a low friction coefficient, which led to the development of Teflon as a non-stick coating.

Teflon is made from a chemical called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is a synthetic fluoropolymer that is resistant to heat and chemicals, making it a popular choice for non-stick coatings.

While nonstick cookware with Teflon coating is safe for normal use at typical cooking temperatures, it can release harmful fumes if overheated. Ingesting small flakes of Teflon or particles that have peeled off is not considered a significant health risk for cancer. However, it is best to avoid using pans with severely damaged Teflon coating.

No, there is no such thing as Teflon underwear. Teflon is a type of non-stick coating typically used in cookware and industrial applications. Underwear is not made with Teflon because it would not serve a practical purpose for that type of clothing.

The melting point of Teflon tape is typically around 327 degrees Celsius (620 degrees Fahrenheit). It is important to use the tape within its designated temperature range to prevent it from melting or losing its effectiveness.

The formation of Teflon polymer from two monomer units, tetrafluoroethylene, can be represented by the following chemical equation: nCF2=CF2 --> [(CF2-CF2)n]

where n represents the number of repeating units in the polymer chain.

No, Teflon or polymerized tetrafluoroethylene is very very inert and in fact has to be apply by molding the shape you want out of powder much like sintering in metallurgy or forcing it into a porous surface.

Teflon is a coating applied to fabric to make it water and stain resistant. It forms a protective barrier on the fabric that repels liquid and prevents it from being absorbed, making the fabric easier to clean and maintain.

Teflon was first discovered by a chemist named Roy Plunkett in 1938 while working for DuPont. He accidentally discovered the polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) while conducting experiments with refrigerants. The material's non-stick properties led to its commercial use in various applications, such as cookware.

Teflon itself is considered safe for normal use in cooking utensils. However, at very high temperatures (above 500°F or 260°C), Teflon coatings can release toxic fumes that may pose health risks. It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines and avoid overheating Teflon-coated cookware.

Exposure to overheated Teflon coatings can release toxic fumes that may cause flu-like symptoms known as "polymer fume fever." Also, if Teflon pans are scratched or damaged, the coating can flake off into food, potentially leading to ingestion of harmful chemicals. Furthermore, long-term exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), used in the production of Teflon, has been linked to health issues like cancer and reproductive problems.

French chemist Henri Moissan is credited with the discovery of the element fluorine, not Teflon (which is a trademarked name referring to a synthetic polymer called polytetrafluoroethylene). Teflon was discovered by Roy Plunkett, an American chemist, while working for DuPont in 1938.

No. Teflon® is a trademark name for DuPont's line of synthesized (read: man-made) non-stick coatings based on a set of fluorocarbon resins.

Minerals are naturally-occurring, typically inorganic (non-carbon based) compounds with a crystalline structure. They can be composed of one or more elements (gold vs. quartz, for example).

The word equation for Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, which is a type of synthetic polymer that is used in various applications due to its chemical resistance and non-stick properties.

No, not all hair straighteners contain Teflon in them. Some hair straighteners may use ceramic, tourmaline, titanium, or other materials in their plates instead of Teflon. It is important to read the product specifications to determine the materials used in a specific hair straightener.

As "kevlar" is in fact the trademark of a type of aramid fiber, it may be capitalized (Kevlar) -- or lower-cased, as one often sees with "xerox". [see http://unterm.un.org/DGAACS/unterm.nsf/8fa942046ff7601c85256983007ca4d8/12ce03301316620685256a000007676a?OpenDocument]

Teflon and Kevlar are brand names, so they are capitalized to indicate that they are specific products developed by companies (DuPont for Teflon and DuPont and others for Kevlar). Other polymers are generic terms and are not specific to a particular brand, so they are not capitalized.

The monomers of Teflon, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), are joined by covalent bonds. Specifically, these are carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds, which give Teflon its unique properties like high chemical resistance and low surface friction.

Polytetrafluoroethene, named teflon by Du-pont, is applied to surfaces as an emulsion, mixed with another liquid, and then baked, which causes a thin film to form. When applied to metals like aluminum, the metal is first treated with an acid. This allows the teflon to bond to the metal. It is not until the film is formed that it becomes non-stick.

Teflon is known for its low friction properties, making it highly slippery. Its non-stick characteristic comes from its unique molecular structure, which allows substances to slide easily over its surface. While it is one of the slipperiest substances, there are other materials like diamond-like carbon that can exhibit even lower friction coefficients.

Fluorine is the element used in toothpaste as fluoride, while Teflon is made of the element fluorine in combination with carbon to create a non-stick coating.

Fluorine is highly reactive and corrosive, which can easily react with many materials, including metals. Teflon is a highly inert and non-reactive material, making it suitable for storing and handling fluorine safely without reacting with the container.
