Hi all, is it possible to find any relevant information about making plastics from homemade oil ? Thanks

(I understand that this question sounds silly and I am aware of problems connected to this topics, but I am looking for a set of information about this topic. Thank you very much for your time!)

Let's start by trying to understand what the question really means.  What is the chemical structure of a molecule of "household oil" -- the quotes means you get to pick one that you look up and draw.  Then, pick a "plastic" -- again, there are many.  Compare the structures, and see if there's a similarity.  Finding the reaction will be harder, but we have to see what's possible first.  There is no chemical reaction, for example that will convert NaCl into H₂O.
