If nothing sticks to teflon, how do you get teflon to stick to the pan???

Actually, it's quite simple. As you know,Teflon is a type of fluoropolymer, and therefore the surface energy is very low. In laymans terms, the halogenated hydrocarbon regions produce a non-polar molecular chain (duh). This gives the teflon, or PTFE (polytetra fluoroethylene)it's desireable properties, namely chemical resistance and very low surface tension. To make the polymer useful in the home consumer market, manufactures simply have to increase the surface energy to improve adhesion to the steel. This can be done in many ways. The most common, of course, is to increase the polarity at the surface by either a Corona Discharge or a chemical "etching". Either way, once the polarity has increased, bonding is elementary. By the way, polyolefins have the same issues, but you already knew that... Boy, I could just go on for hours about this stuff. Why don't you send me your home phone number so we can discuss this in further detail. You see, for some reason I have lost contact with most of my friends and family since I read the book "Know all, tell all".

Thats right...I forgot everything I learned in molecular chemistry 496. I feel like a smacked ass. That will teach me for getting a business degree instead of my first love...metallurgy. Anyhow, thanks for that explanation, I read something almost identical in a book called "Why do clocks run clockwise". Now, can you explain why anybody in their right mind would smoke an ancla y cazador????

What do you add to dehydrated water? What do you pack styrofoam in? If a man yells in the woods and there are no women around, does he make a sound? If Darth Vader married Ella Fitzgerald she would be Ella Vader.

If a seven eleven is open twenty four hours a day then why do they have locks on the doors, If you cannot drink and drive then why do they ask for your DL when you buy liquor.

Actually, Bud, I believe the proper question is "if a man speaks in the woods and there are no women around, is he still wrong?"....
