13 results about "Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene" patented technology

Gore-Tex was co-invented by Wilbert L. Gore and Gore's son, Robert W. Gore. In 1969, Bob Gore stretched heated rods of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and created expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). His discovery of the right conditions for stretching PTFE was a happy accident, born partly of frustration.

A flexible bendable composite pipe supported by spring winding with ePTFE membrane, its preparation method and application

This invention discloses a flexible, bendable composite pipe with spring support for ePTFE membrane winding, its preparation method, and its applications. The composite pipe includes a spring support body; multiple layers of ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane wound around the outer surface of the spring support body; the multiple ePTFE membranes are crystalline-linked by a hot-melt sintering process to form fluorocarbon bonds, thus combining the multiple ePTFE membranes with the spring support body to form a composite pipe wall structure. This structure solves the problems of collapse and loosening caused by the softness and deformation of single-layer ePTFE membranes, endowing the pipe with good tensile strength, flexible bending characteristics, and air permeability / filtration functions due to the microporous structure of ePTFE. The pipe is resistant to chemical corrosion and has a wide temperature adaptability range, making it suitable for industrial fluid transport and filtration systems requiring flexible conveying, pressure balance, or the infiltration / emission of specific gases. The preparation method mainly includes winding and hot-melt sintering processes within a specific temperature range.
