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