1. Introduction
With the increasing global environmental awareness, the textile industry is facing tremendous pressure to transform. Environmental pollution problems arising from traditional textile production are increasingly attracting attention, so the development of environmentally friendly textile products has become an important direction for the development of the industry. As a high-performance material, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has excellent corrosion resistance, waterproofness, breathability, etc., and has good biodegradability, making it an ideal choice for the development of environmentally friendly textile products.
2. PTFE material characteristics and application prospects
2.1 Basic characteristics of PTFE materials
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a polymer with the following significant properties:
- Chemical stability: Extremely high chemical inertia, and hardly reacts with any chemical substance.
- High temperature resistance: Can be stable within the temperature range of -200°C to +260°C.
- Low friction coefficient: The surface is smooth, the friction coefficient is extremely low, and it is not easy to stick to dirt.
- Waterproof and breathable: Excellent waterproof performance and good breathable.
2.2 Current status of domestic and foreign research
According to research reports from the American Society of Materials (ASM International), the application of PTFE materials in the textile field has made significant progress. For example, a German study showed that the application of PTFE coated fabrics in outdoor equipment significantly improved the durability and comfort of the product (Schmidt et al., 2018). In addition, a research team from the University of Tokyo in Japan found that PTFE fibers exhibit excellent antibacterial properties in medical textiles (Tanaka et al., 2019).
