Question

Cardiologists generally recommend non-stick cookware to heart patients which are made by _____________.
(A) Plastic Coating.
(B) Teflon Coating.
(C) Normal Coating.
(D) None of These.

Answer 1

We know that the properties of polymers depend on their structure. The plastic that is used for making non-stick pans is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has various applications. The plastic used also has high resistance to heat.

Complete answer:
We must remember that the polymers are substances or materials made up of very large molecules or macromolecules made up of many repeating subunits. Due to their diverse properties, synthetic and natural polymers play an important and ubiquitous role in everyday life. Also that the Teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene is a synthetic fluoropolymer which can be obtained by the process of polymerization of a certain Monomer. Teflon could be found in the musical instrument lubrication product, also it’s hydrophobic. Teflon can be prepared by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene.
Teflon is manufactured by heating tetrafluoroethene with a free radical or per sulphate catalyst at high pressures. A non-stick surface is a surface engineered to reduce the ability of other materials to stick to it. Non-stick cookware is a common application, where the non-stick coating allows food to brown without sticking to the pan. Non-stick is often used to refer to surfaces coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a well-known brand of which is "Teflon". Uses of Teflon: Teflon is used for making non-stick surface coated utensils and in making oil seals and gaskets.
Therefore, correct answer is option B. i.e. Teflon Coating.

Note:
Remember that never heat the Teflon, when overheated it can release mildly toxic fumes. Also sometimes things made of Teflon get deteriorated. Due to its high corrosion resistance it’s useful in a lab environment where it’s used for lining containers along with tubing for highly corrosive chemicals.
