And lots more.. 1 2 3 4 5 thousands This is called addition polymerisation and is written as:

  3. Poly(propene) n n propene Polypropene • Ethene is only one alkene. Other unsaturated molecules such as propene, vinyl chloride and styrene can also be polymerised to produce a range of plastics. E.g. propene

  4. n n Poly(tetrafluoroethane) or PTFE tetrafluoroethene PTFE • Tetrafluoroethane is another alkene that is made into an important plastic used to coat non-stick pans: polytetrafluoroethane or PTFE.
