blending gasoline
alternative fuels and energy sources
alternative transport fuels
disel

addition polymerisation
polymers
addition polymer
all polymers are long-chain molecules made by joining together a large number of monomer molecules
addition polymerisation involves monomer molecules that containe a C==C bond.
addition polymers are homopolymers, made from a single monomer
during addition, the double bonds open up and the molecules join to themselves to make a molecule with a very long chain
condensation polymerisation
nylon
polysters
biological polysters
proteins
carbonhydrates
