TPU scientists offer scalable technology to obtain polytetrafluoroethylene membranes
"The main advantage of the method is that the small laboratory installation is not different from an industrial one by its core and processes."
Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University were able to obtain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes using electrospinning. PTFE is known to be the most stable existent polymer. According to the scientists, it is a simple, affordable and easily scalable method, which will allow obtaining chemically stable membranes in industrial-scale production. The membranes can be used in petrochemical, aerospace, nuclear industries, carbon-free energy and medicine.
The latest results of the research of physical and chemical properties and biocompatibility of the obtained membranes are published in the
