Chapter 22, Problem 22.46E

Early attempts to coat metals with Teflon, poly (tetrafluoroethylene), resulted in a polymer layer that peeled off the surface easily. Later attempts gave coatings that were much more durable. What type of adsorption processes are being manifested in either situation? What technical problem had to be solved in order to develop durable coatings?

Coprecipitation due to surface adsorption can be minimized by the following except: reducing the surface area, i.e precipitating under conditions where more nuclei are formed and small crystals resulted Carrying out a separation of ions that would be strongly adsorbed or replacing it with strongly absorbed ions lowering the oxidation number of metal ions so that it's charge reduced using hot solutions to reduce the amount of adsorption per unit area
Name some solids that are effective as adsorbents.
Explain effect of defects on the properties of materials? Briefly explain in details?
