Obviously.
/int/ is supposedly populated with those with the intellectual insights. You're assering this is just another repository of people who are good at the Google. I asked a question that /int/ people would/should know. Information between the margins of publications. I get, instead, Dunning Krugers making excuses.

I was asking what polymer to use for UF6 containment. It's a pretty basic question. I can do handstands but you're missing the point entirely.

You can't answer the question so reverted to sophistry. You aren't smart nor are you a person worth discussing physics with. There are actually several polymers that will work. You don't know any of them.

Cool, a projection. Are you insecure about your intelligence?
>There are actually several polymers that will work. You don't know any of them.
True. My biggest drive in live is proving my intelligence on anonymous forum boards. The validation from anon's knowing I am one of them is what fuels me. Oh wait, that's you.

Why even respond...but why not.
SF6 in a resonant trap is an advanced grad student research project studying plasma physics and entanglement. UF6 is avoided-in-general-discussion but not classified weapons grade physics (1940s physics)
Polymer radiation shielding is one thing but direct exposure to UF6 is super-smart-person discussion.
So, is /sci/ actually *smart* or a bunch of parrots that regurgitate popular mechanics articles.
Now I know it seems to be the latter.

[Anonymous No.14619355]

>>14619264
Some sort of coordination polymer since it’ll react with metallic ions to form a nonvolatile compound.

Also why is this is measure of intelligence? It’s like saying a plumber is more intelligent than you because he knows what particular pipe to use.

As a nuclear physicist/engineer, you aren’t inherently intelligent. You just know about your field. Real intelligence comes from stuff you can’t easily Google. More in depth math/physics stuff than what you’ve asked here.

/sci/ are anons discussing science/shitposting. Sometimes insecure people show up who have to prove how smart they are (You). That validation is very valuable to midwits.
>Now I know it seems to be the latter.
Once again, vomiting esoteric knowledge is not what intelligence is. It's what someone who is insecure about being intelligent thinks intelligence is. If you want to discuss a topic, just discuss the topic.

You're delusional. I understand.

[Anonymous No.14619374]

>>14619355
It needs to be inert to the highly reactive UF6. You need to contain it without interacting with it.
The smartest people I've ever met (170+iq types) don't try to answer questions outside of their knowledge base without massive caveats.
This is supposed to be one of the smartest boards on the internet and so far the Emeral smart asses are carrying the day.

[Anonymous No.14619377]

>>14619374
Lol Dunning Kruger is real. You don’t prevent volatile compounds from reacting, you let them react with something that turns them nonvolatile at the container boundary. If you were actually an engineer, you’d know that.

Engineers are the worst of the worst Dunning Krugers. You very clearly just demonstrated that point. If you are processing a volatile substance, especially UF6, the LAST thing you want to happen is for it to react with the container. This is literally 1950s knowledge.

>>14619387
LOL you are larping as an engineer to seem smart to internet strangers. Sad. You don’t understand how containment works - the material reacts with the boundaries (very low delta H reaction) and creates a non volatile substance. Hence any organometallic polymer will do.

Oh but you’re too retarded to understand chemistry.

That's bullshit. My reaction was that surely PTFE, but that seems too obvious. Having some obscure knowledge is not intelligence any more than winning a trivia contest is. It's what people who are too dumb to understand intelligence think that makes you intelligent.

[Anonymous No.14619403]

>>14619383
This actually isn't a bad option. I think the Tefflon Jokers are pointing to something better. The problem with UF6 is that you aren't just dealing with radiation but the atomic resonance almost has a physical chainsaw effect. Part of that is kinetic heat and part is something like a jackhammer on the chemical bonds.

Dude you don’t know the basic mechanism of how containment works. You don’t realize a tiny reactions happens at the boundary creating a nonvolatile compound. You have zero credibility. Probably got your degree at some 3rd world shit hole. Many such cases.

Hello Dupont, was wondering when or if you'd have a say so. Now how was Tefflon invented... although the comments were already put out there. As usual the smarties were monosyalibal.

Yes yes, you have no clue what radiation is or how nuclear resonance behaves geometrically. The question was b8 for bigger fish than you as well as breadcrumbs for some wayward smarties.

It has to be a fluoropolymer like PTFE. I guess anything else will just react since UF6 should be a potent oxidizing agent. If you hadn't said polymer I would've suggested a nickel container like you would use for F2 gas.
