High-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibre is used as liners for surgical gloves.Although the liner has a very high resistance to being cut, the polymer allows a surgeon to maintain a delicate sense of touch. The HDPE liner is usually rigid andnot flexible.a. Suggest a reason why low-density polyethylene, LDPE cannot be used.b. Give a molecular level reason why HDPE is successful in this application.
1. Analyze the plastic Polyethylene terephthalate:
a)What are the advantages (think properties) and disadvantages regarding your plastic? (Can it be recycled? Can it harm human health and/or environmental health.)
b)What are the impacts of plastics (all plastics, not just the one you examined) with a sustainability plan: how can we reduce plastic pollution?
What aspect of thermoset polymers can be controlled to increase strength?
