Teflon. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene,grey) embedded in the engineering plastic POM (polyoxymethylene,yellow). Teflon,or PTFE,is a synthetic fluoropolymer that has a very low coefficient of friction. PTFE's resistance to van der Waals forces means that it is the only known surface to which a gecko cannot stick. For a close-up,see image number A850/0250.
