Teflon-Copper reaction

I would like to know if Teflon reacts with copper. Under what conditions? I am testing separators made of Teflon in lithium batteries to function as separator of carbon coated on copper (anode) from the positive electrode (cathode).

Thanks,

For Teflon® questions, ask DuPont: http://www.dupont.com/teflon/films/index.html Ambient temperature? I rather doubt any reaction with copper, but perhaps one with lithium?
