Nānā kēia ʻatikala i ka hiki ke mālama ʻia ke ahi no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ʻili o ka PTFE a hoʻohālikelike i nā hopena me ka mālama corona a me ka plasma. Hiki: hiki ke hoʻololi i ka lapalapa ahi i ka PTFE akā ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ʻia i ka ʻoihana - nā pilikia palekana (Decomposes PTFE i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka HF toxic a me ka perfluoroisobutylene); ka palena o ka hana (he 30-35 mN/m wale nō ka ikehu o ka ʻili, hana i ka papa palena nāwaliwali). Nā hana hana: lapalapa - transient kiʻekiʻe-mehana oxidation (>1000°C), liʻiliʻi etching, kakaikahi hui oxygen; corona — hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka uila kiʻekiʻe e hoʻohua ai i ka ozone/oxygen hoʻoikaika, ka hoʻoheheʻe haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole hiki i ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ke wāwahi i nā kaula CF; plasma — nā ʻāpana ikaika nui/electrons/free radicals e hoʻokaʻawale pololei i nā paʻa CF a me nā pūʻulu polar graft (hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino).
