PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
On 6. April 1938 Roy Plunkett at DuPont opened the valve on a cylinder of tetrafluoroethylene gas, a candidate refrigerant, and nothing came out - though the cylinder still weighed full. Sawn open, it held a white waxy powder: the gas had polymerised by itself. The powder resisted every solvent and acid tried on it, did not melt like other plastics, and almost nothing would stick to it.
**US 2,230,654**, "Tetrafluoroethylene polymers", Plunkett, assigned to Kinetic Chemicals, granted 4. February 1941. Its first claim is two words: "Polymerized tetrafluoroethylene."
**Tetrafluoroethylene is explosive and is never handled outside a plant.** You build what the material is for: a hinged tilting ramp that measures the coefficient of friction of PTFE against steel, beside nylon, acrylic and steel itself.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** the polymer of tetrafluoroethylene itself, a solid insoluble in ordinary solvents. **Modern build (derived):** machined PTFE sheet against clean mild steel on a tilting plane.
Its first large use was seals and gaskets for the Manhattan Project's uranium hexafluoride plant, a gas that attacked everything else. DuPont registered Teflon in 1945; non-stick pans followed in the 1950s, and stretched PTFE became Gore-Tex. Its limits: it creeps under steady load, wears quickly without fillers, cannot be glued without etching, and above about 260 °C in use it begins to give off harmful fumes.
