Chemistry of teflon

Chemistry
Structurally, there are different types of Teflon:
- Teflon PTFE resin is a polymer consisting of recurring tetrafluoroethylene monomer units with the formula: (CF2-CF2)n

- The Tetrafluoroethylene Hexafluoropropylene-copolymer FEP: [CF(CF3)-CF2(CF2-CF2)n]m

- Perfluoroalkyoxy-polymers, PFA has the same advantages as PTFE Teflon with the structure: [CF(OR,)-CF2(CF2-CF2)n]m OR, represents a perfluoroalkoxy group.
