Notes:
High density polyethylene becomes more flexible and tough by adding short branches onto the otherwise linear backbone. Commercially, this is achieved by adding 1-butene or 1-hexene comonomer to reactor and copolymerizing it with ethylene. A process has now been developed which uses low pressure to produce new forms of branched polyethylene without addition of comonomer to the reaction mixture.
