Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Polytetrafluoro ethylene (PTFE) is better known by the trade name Teflon.

PTFE is a vinyl polymer, and its structure, if not its behavior, is similar to polyethylene.

PTFE is made from the monomer tetrafluoro ethylene by free radical vinyl polymerization.

Solution

Tetrafluoro ethylene

Q. State the monomer of Teflon.

$C H_{2} = C H . Cl$

$C F_{2} = C F_{2}$

$C H_{2} = C H . CN$

$CH_{2} = Cl | C - CH = CH_{2}$
