LIGHT REFLECTANT SURFACE FOR PHOTOINDUCTION CHAMBERS

摘要

Improved material and method for reflecting light in a photoinduction chambe r is provided. The material comprises one or more layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. Employing an ePTFE membrane as reflective surfaces is demonstrated as providing excellent diffuse reflectiv e properties, especially in the ultraviolet and visible ranges of light. Additionally, the material of the present invention has many other propertie s that make it particularly desirable for use in various photoinduction chambe r applications, including inertness, flexibility, ease in shaping and installation, etc.
