Definition Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of long hydrocarbon chains. A molecule of polyethylene is nothing more than a long chain of carbon atoms, with two hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom. Polyethylene is produced from the polymerization of ethylene as monomer. Polyethylene may have different grade of density (more…)
