Effect of Weight Percentage on PTFE/Nanoporous Zeolite Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this research, Zeolite will be selected as a potential material to combine with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to form composite. Zeolite is a porous material with known as molecular sieve and aluminosilicate materials that have open structure of interconnected cavities that can be accessed by molecules, atoms and ions species. Besides, PTFE is a polymer of the type of Teflon and most widely used fluorocarbon polymer for engineering applications with a great combination of desirable chemical and physical properties likes excellent high temperature stability, chemical resistance, electric properties and also extremely low coefficient of friction. Experimental process will be included the conversion of Zeolite to nanoporous Zeolite by wet milling method. Then, this nanoporous Zeolite will mix together with PTFE by weight percentage to form a nanocomposite that gives high impact in properties. This composite will characterize via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA).
