Ethylene Polymerization to LD Polyethylene¤

Introduction¤

Low density polyethylene is a thermoplastic made from the ethylene monomer. This process employs the free radical polymerization method where a polymer is formed by the addition of radical initiators.

ES Model Parameters¤

All the parameters concerning the Ethylene Polym. are listed in the table below.
