I did a Google search on "Teflon stick pan" and the above was the #1 hit. The article cited by the other answer was #2.

This is a fairly popular question, so there is a fair amount of information out there. Best wishes with your search for an answer.

Teflon, the non-stick coating used on pots and pans, holds the title in the Guiness Book of World Records as being the slipperiest substance on earth.

Scientifically speaking, Teflon will not chemically bond to anything, but can be forced mechanically into small nooks and crannies. This slippery substance adheres to their surfaces once manufacturers sandblast them to roughen them, apply a primer, and embed the Teflon into the primer.
