Description:
The principal families of polyethylene will be described: very low density polyethylene (VLDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDPE), along with their major variants. The historical development of the different families will be briefly discussed. Examples of applications will illustrate how key physical characteristics are related to molecular structure and supermolecular organization.
