What is the density of a PET sample that is 45% crystalline? The density of amorphous PET has been reported to be 1.336 g/cm³ and crystalline PET as 1.514 g/cm³. 4.3 Two copolymers were synthesized that contain 42 wt% polyethylene and 58 wt% polypropylene. The first polymer is rigid and opaque, while the second is soft and transparent. Give two plausible explanations of the difference in properties despite the copolymers having the same composition (and molecular weight). {I have three possible answers} 4.4 Traditional materials science textbooks (like used in MTE 271, if you took that class) are concerned mostly with metals and ceramics instead of polymers. There is a great deal of discussion about crystal structures (such as fcc or face-centered cubic atomic arrangements in crystals, etc.) and crystal defects in these books.
