Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on PTFE. You'll find a good depiction there. That chain looks pretty much the same as when you compare it to PFA and FEP, the two other primary "flavors" of Dupont's Teflon.
The polymer that makes up Teflon is: Polytetrafluoroethylene
teflon is thermoplastic as it contains a linear chain and is not crosslinked..
because it is black like niall roberts at retford oaks high school
Teflon is a polymer consisting of long chains of carbon atoms that are combined with fluorine.
Fluorine!!! Teflon is 'polytetrafluoroethylene; a polymer. #It has the formula -[-CF2-CF2-]-n

Teflon is a compound that we call a polymer. These polymers are small repeating units that all look the same, but thousands combine together to form long chains. The scientific name for teflon is Polytetrafluoroethylene. This simply means in plain English many units of 2 carbons and 4 fluorines. One unit would look something like: F F | | CC | | F F and this unit is repeated many thousands of times to form the long chains of the polymer. The single unit is called a monomer.
Not at all. A diamond contains mostly carbon. A polymer would have other elements besides carbon - teflon, for instance, is carbon and fluorine (I picked teflon because it's the simplest polymer - lots and lots of carbon and fluorine atoms.)
The chemical name for the polymer is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Teflon is a synthetic polymer which means that it is man-made. There are many polymers that are also found in nature.
Teflon is a trade name for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene -PTFE. It is made by polymerization of Tetra Fluoro Ethylene CF2=CF2 and thus because it is a synthetic polymer it is generically called a plastic and in addition it has properties of a plastic.
