Fluoropolymers were discovered serendipitously in 1938 by Dr. Roy J. Plunkett . He was working on Freon (for the DuPont corporation) and accidentally polymerized Tetrafluoroethylene . The result was PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), more commonly known as Teflon . It turned out to be a material with the lowest coefficient of Friction of any known solid material and inert to virtually all chemicals. Examples of fluoropolymers:
Fluoropolymers may be either Thermoset s or Thermoplastic s. SEE ALSO
