New materials designed by Gore-Tex can be used on laptops, human bodies, and Mars
Gore-Tex has designed a plastic that can withstand a weight of 500 pounds without breaking. This material is called expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, or ePTFE. It is extremely waterproof and has a huge operating temperature range. From laptops to 5G wiring to fire fighting equipment, and even on Mars rover, ePTFE can be found.
High-performance laptops also use ePTFE for thermal insulation. When playing a resource-intensive game or processing 4K video, the laptop becomes very hot, so it usually has to reduce performance to reduce speed and avoid burning the processor. When mixed with an aerogel insulator, ePTFE can help isolate high temperatures. The thin and flexible insulation sheet made of this material can currently be found in laptops such as the Dell XPS 13. It is located under the heat pipe, which prevents heat from rising through the chassis and directs heat to escape through the fan instead of letting the heat reach the keyboard.
ePTFE can not only withstand the extreme high temperature, but also can work normally at minus 196 degrees (minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit). Compared with other materials that lose strength and break in extreme cold conditions, ePTFE material is suitable for making freezing bags, suitable for storage needs to be frozen Special, expensive biological drugs. ePTFE is even suitable for use in the human body. Currently used for open arterial stents, this material is inert, so the patient's body will not reject this material.
