no, but polyethylene glycol is.
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene and it has carbon and hydrogen atoms.
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.
There are many two carbon molecules but the most simple one is ethylene (C2H4)
no, "Olefin is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of ethylene Propylene or other olefin units". (Kaldolph, 2010)
decene
No, it's not the same thing. Ethylene is a gas used to produce polyethylene (solid). "Polymer grade" is just a purity label for ethylene gas, means that this ethylene is pure enough to be used in polyethylene (or other polymer) production.
Ethylene Propylene
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
One is solid, one is liquid.A polymer is just a large molecule (macromolecule) made up of a chain of repeating structural units (monomers), and a liquid one would just be a liquid polymer. Any major differences would depend entirely on the specific polymer.

Yes it is a thermoplastic polymer PTFE - poly tetra fluoro ethylene.
i think epoxy surfboards are. nevermind, that's polystyrene...
No, both are different. Polystyrene is a polymer of styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) whereas polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene (CH2=CH2).
You get a polymer! When you have ethylene glycol react with phtalic anhydride in a basic sollution such as NaOH(aq) you'll get a linear polymer. When you have glycerol react with phtalic anhydride in the same way you'll get a crosslinked polymer. The important difference between glycerol and ethylene glycol is the amount of OH groups, and as we all know, the OH groups usually the group that reacts - particularly in the creation of polymers. So in this case your crosslinked polymer will be the glycerol as it has 3 OH groups. One in each end, allowing the molycule to connect with other molecules and create polymers, and one in the middle (connected to the 2nd Carbon Atom) allowing it to react with other polymers. I hope that sort of answers your question
Polyethylene (polythene) is a waxy solid polymer formed from ethylene gas monomer under high temperature and pressures.
