Type of polymer Polymer formation ,monomer and Disposal method

sample structure Advantages and
disadvantages

 Is formed by addition Incineration

polymerisation advantages
SAMPLE  Monomer-
it reduces the volume of
waste than landfilling
the heat energy produced
can be used for heating
Tetrafluoroehene
 structure Disadvantages
It is expensive to build and
maintain an incinerator
