ABSTRACT

A PTFE-ZnO composite coating was manufactured to improve the thermal and mechanical properties while maintaining the non-stick properties of the PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, (C2F4)n) coating agent for cookware. As a result of electron microscopic observation, the aggregation of particles was observed as the amount of ZnO powder added to PTFE was increased, and the best dispersibility was shown when 5 wt% was added. The addition of ZnO powders to PTFE resulted in a decrease in the coefficient of friction with time. As a result, the coefficient of friction increased with time when using ATS as a coupling agent. When 5 wt% of ZnO powders were added to PTFE, the thermal conductivity of the coating increased more than two times from 100 to 120 W/mK at 50~65 W/mK. In addition, as a result of the 72 hours salt spray test for examining the chemical stability of the coating solution, ZnO was stable without whitening or peeling regardless of whether or not the ZnO was added.
