Proceedings of the Twenty-eigth Conference of the North American Thermal Analysis
The thermal conductivity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was studied using an instrumented thermal conductivity apparatus (Lees Disk) and by DSC. The former method was used to study the effect of incorporating fillers into a PTFE/glass fiber fabric used for conveyor belts in food processing. The effect of crystallinity on thermal conductivity was investigated and different methods of crystall...

INTRODUCTION Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a highly crystalline polymer with melting temperature around 330°C, possesses unique properties. Chemically inert, it has high chemical and heat resistance with upper service temperature around 260°C. Since its invention it has found limited applications especially as an additive because of its high molecular weight and inert surface. However, by mid...
