The study of anneal characteristics is important for TL dosimeter to reuse. To obtain the annealing condition of the recently developed, new TL dosimeter, LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si Teflon Tills in a disk type (diameter 4.5 mm, thickness about $90mg/cm^2$), we studied for pre-irradiation annealing, readout procedure and post-readout annealing, in order. The gamma irradiations were carried out with a $^{60}Co$, dose of 0.1 Gy. We have used the method that observe the variation of thermoluminescent(TL) intensity of these Teflon TLDs over repeated cycles by changing both anneal temperature and anneal time with the TLD reader and the oven. There is a 5% loss in sensitivity over the ten repeated readouts by the annealing condition:pre-irradiation annealing at $80^{\circ}C$ for one hour, readout to $280^{\circ}C$ and post-readout annealing at $270^{\circ}C$ for 20 seconds.

The purpose of present study is comparing the effect of Teflon Membrane and Nylon Membrane on bone regeneration in rabbit tibia. The 6 defects of $8{\times}8{\times}5mm$ size were drilled with dental handpiece in rabbit tibia, which on left side as an order of Control group(no coverage), Group 1(Nylon $5{\mu}m$ size), Group 3(Nylon $10{\mu}m$ size), and on right side Control group, Group 2($5{\mu}m$ Teflon), Group 4($10{\mu}m$ Teflon). Animals were killed at 7, 10, 14, 42 days to make specimens and observed the difference of healing potentials with light microscopy. The results were as follows ; 1. New bone formation has taken place at 14 days in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) group comparing to the Control group of massive inflammatory status. 2. Larger pore membrane allows more favorable healing potentials. Bone formation started earlier in larger membrane pore groups than smaller groups, until 14 days. 3. Bone forming potentials of Teflon membrane group was higher than Nylon membrane groups, Control group has the lowest bone forming potentials. 4. New bone formation was almost ended in 42 days, and there was no difference of bone formation between Nylon and Teflon membrane group of different size. There was no difference of bone formation at final stage(42 days) between Nylon membrane and Teflon membrane of same pore size. So nylon membrane may be clinically usable in guided bone regeneration case with further studies.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the teflon encapsulated TLD rod, which may be used in nuclear medicine for the direct in vivo measurements of radiation dose. We analyzed the influence of teflon encapsulation for measuring absorbed dose. An experiment was carried out to evaluate and observe the response of a LiF TLD-100 rod in a thin-wall teflon capsule at different depths in a solid phantom. An adult anthropomorphic phantom was used to measure the absorbed dose using thin teflon encapsulated TLD. The measurements of PDD-, and TMR in solid phantom and athe bsorbed dose in humanoid phantom performed with normal TLD were compared with values obtained by teflon encapsulated TLD. It was demonstrated that the difference of TL response of LiF in phantom with and without teflon thin-wall capsule was less than 3％ under the same conditions beyond the build-up region. However, significant differences were observed near the phantom surface because of the build-up effect caused by the thin-wall thickness of the teflon capsule. Thus, our study showed that the contribution of teflon thin-wall capsule to TLD response for the megavoltage photon beams was negligible and that it did not significantly effect dose measurement. The teflon encapsulated TLD described in this work has been proven to be appropriate for in vivo dosimetry in therapeutic environments.

In this report, high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) buffer layer are demonstrated. Compared with conventional buffer layer, copper phthalocaynine (CuPc), Teflon film shows lower absorption in the wavelength from 200nm to 800nm The OLEDs with Teflon and CuPc buffer layer were fabricated under same conditions, and the device performances were compared. The results indicate that when the thickness of Teflon is 1.5nm, the performance of OLEDs is greatly enhanced with an efficiency of 9.0cd/A at the current density of 100mA/$cm^2$, while the device with an optimized 30-nm-thick CuPc buffer layer only shows an efficiency of6.4cd/A at the same current density.

Vacuum insulated pipes (VIP) are one of the important equipments for cryogenic fluids' transfer. Flange type of VIP, which can easily be installed at the site, uses a set of male and female bayonet with very small gap between them. In order to prevent leakage of liquid from inner pipe to bayonet. Teflon or Kel-F is located outside both the inner pipe of male and the guide of female. Even though liquid may leak at room temperature, it cannot leak at cryogenic temperature since Teflon shrinks much more than pipes and adheres closely to the inner pipe and guide. Teflon seal method has the advantage of easy fabrication, low cost and effective sealing compared to the conventional method.

A safety valve is used for protecting the pressure vessel and facilities by discharging the operating fluid into the valve from the accident when the pressure is over the designated value. The fluid is sulfurous acid and nitric acid. etc. in the semi-conductor assembly line. Thus the valve elements material must be acid resistance. Teflon, which is used generally as inner parts of a valve, tends to easily sticks to sliding surface by thermal expansion under high temperature. Some studies are performed to change teflon to another material and shape to have a better fluidity under the condition. The analysis of the thermal expansion is conducted by commercial FEM software to improve the problems. Boundary conditions were temperature and load in this study. From the analysis, the thermal expansion of stainless steel is verified to be lower than that of teflon under high temperature. Thus coupled teflon/stainless steel-made valve is applied to assembly line without danger due to thermal expansion.

Although teflon(PTFE) is quite stable at the normal fabrication temperature of 330 to 360$^{\circ}C$, it does undergo pyrolysis if it is maintained at temperature above 360$^{\circ}C$ for extended periods of time. The extent and rate of this pyrolysis increases as the temperature is raised and pressure is reduced. The pyrolysis was also carried out in the presence of copper, no significant change was observed.

For the increase the charge stability of teflon electrets for used at uncomfortable industrial circumstances with high temperature or humidity, We made an investigation into double layer effect of teflon electrets. Teflon AF film was spincoated on FEP film and then the charge storage property of AF/FEP dual film was investigated to be compared with FEP film. It was found that the AF/FEP dual film has higher surface potential than FEP film on the repeated charging and annealing process. It seems that AF/FEP dual film has higher thermal stability than FEP film through TSC measurement. If the investigations of the double layer effect of Teflon film carried out more closely with it's molecular structures and surface conditions, it may be effectively improved the stability of charge storage.

Base isolation is widely used in seismic resisting buildings due to its low construction cost, high reliability, mature theory and convenient usage. However, it is difficult to design the isolation layer in high-rise buildings using the available bearings because high-rise buildings are characterized with long period, low horizontal stiffness, and complex re-distribution of the internal forces under earthquake loads etc. In this paper, a simple and innovative isolation bearing, named Teflon-based lead rubber isolation bearing, is developed to address the mentioned problems. The Teflon-based lead rubber isolation bearing consists of friction material and lead rubber isolation bearing. Hence, it integrates advantages of friction bearings and lead rubber isolation bearings so that improves the stability of base isolation system. An experimental study was conducted to validate the effectiveness of this new bearing. The effects of vertical loading, displacement amplitude and loading frequency on the force-displacement relationship and energy dissipation capacity of the Teflon-based lead rubber isolation bearing were studied. An analytical model was also proposed to predict the force-displacement relationship of the new bearing. Comparison of analytical and experimental results showed that the analytical model can accurately predict the force-displacement relationship and elastic shear deflection of the Teflon-based lead rubber isolation bearings.
