Introduction to Synthetic Polymers

There are numerous variations on the basic linear structure of polymers. Returning to our example of polyethylene, we find short chain branches and long chain branches, as shown in Figs. 1.2 and 1.3, respectively. The number and type of these branches strongly influences the Avay that the molecules pack in the solid state, and hence affect the physical properties. Long
