THE PRESSURE DEPENDENCE OF THE SOLID STATE REACTION BETWEEN MAGNESIUM AND TEFLON

Abstract

The effect of low pressure on the solid state reaction between magnesium and Teflon was investigated with the percent completion of the reaction the parameter considered. A reaction mechanism and the principal products of the reaction were determined. No noticeable effect on the percent completion was observed at pressures greater than 350mm of mercury; however, the percent dropped off in an exponential fashion below 350mm to a minimum at 12mm, the lowest pressure considered.
