Notes:

a vinyl polymer made from ethylene. it can be branched or linear. branched or low-density polyethylene is tough and pliable but not to the same degree as linear polyethylene. linear or high-density polyethylene has a greater hardness and tensile strength. polyethylene is used in a variety of products, including implants and prostheses.
