About the Book

Polyolefins, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, are among the most widely used commercial polymers. These versatile fibers are durable, chemically resistant, lightweight, economical, and functional. This work provides researchers in materials, as well as product development specialists in industry and biomedical engineering with a comprehensive resource that will assist them with material improvement and product development. The first chapters discuss the structural and chemical properties of different types of polyolefins, as well as production methods. Middle chapters delve into functionality improvement. Closing chapters address how polyolefins can be incorporated into specific industrial, medical, and automotive products.
