Plastics : What makes Teflon special
Teflon is a brand name for PTFE ( polytetrafluoroethylene ) , a synthetic plastic coating famous for being extremely non-stick and slippery. What makes Teflon special: Teflon is essentially a chain of carbon atoms completely surrounded by fluorine atoms. This creates a surface so smooth and chemically inert that almost nothing can stick to it or react with it. It's like having a molecular-level ice rink that repels everything.
