Polyethylene Sulphochlorinated

Chlorinated elastomers (polychloroprene, sulphochlorinated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene) have fairly good flammability characteristics. Further improvement can be achieved with alumina trihydrate or antimony trioxide. Halogenated phosphoric esters may be applied as plasticizers. 

Sulphochlorinated polyethylene and its vulcanizates Polychlorobutadiene, vulcanized with compounds containing sulphur... 

This is a long essay question which can be answered using any of the major modification techniques listed in the chapter on polyethylene modification. All information needed to compare and contrast two modification techniques, the changes in polyethylene physical and chemical properties, and an example of real world applications for that modified polyethylene are to be found for each ofthe techniques Sulphochlorination, Chlorination, Plasma Modification, Crosslinking - Chemical and E-Beam, and Graft Modification with Maleic Anhydride.
