This is part of the HSC Chemistry course under the topic of Polymers. In this post, we model and compare the structure, properties and uses of addition polymers of ethylene and related monomers, for example:
- Polyethylene (PE)
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
