2. Linear low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Linear_low-density_polyethylene

   Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a substantially linear polymer (polyethylene), with significant numbers of short branches, commonly made by copolymerization of ethylene with longer-chain olefins. Linear low-density polyethylene differs structurally from conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE) because of the absence of long chain ...

3. Low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_polyethylene

   LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]

4. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

   For medium- and high-density polyethylene the melting point is typically in the range 120 to 130 °C (248 to 266 °F). The melting point for average commercial low-density polyethylene is typically 105 to 115 °C (221 to 239 °F).

5. Polymer engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_engineering

   Commonly used polyethylenes can be classified into low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). Among them, HDPE has better thermal, electrical and mechanical properties, while LDPE and LLDPE have better flexibility, impact properties and film forming properties.

6. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

   Low molecular weight poly-alpha-olefins are useful as synthetic lubricants such as synthetic motor oils for vehicles and can be used over a wide temperature range. [ 8 ] [ 10 ] Even polyethylenes copolymerized with a small amount of alpha-olefins (such as 1-hexene , 1-octene , or longer) are more flexible than simple straight-chain high-density ...

7. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

8. Polymer architecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_architecture

   High-density polyethylene (HDPE) has a very low degree of branching, is relatively stiff, and is used in applications such as bullet-proof vests. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), on the other hand, has significant numbers of both long and short branches, is relatively flexible, and is used in applications such as plastic films. Dendrimer and ...

9. Polymer characterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_characterization

   Analysis of copolymers typically requires multiple characterization methods. For instance, copolymers with short chain branching such as linear low-density polyethylene (a copolymer of ethylene and a higher alkene such as hexene or octene) require the use of Analytical Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (ATREF) techniques. These ...
