Abstract / Description of output

The high thermal expansion coefficient of perfluoroelastomer materials can cause problems with the design of adequate seal grooves to cover both high and low temperature operation. Variations in filler shape and proportions have been shown to have a significant effect on thermal expansion over part of the temperature range. This feature describes an investigation of relevant literature that has been compared with experimental verification.
