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.
The raw materials for making Polyethylene are ethylene and sometimes other comonomers like propylene. Ethylene is typically derived from crude oil or natural gas through a process called ethylene cracking. Propylene can also be derived from the same sources or as a byproduct of petroleum refining and ethylene production.
Polyethylene and polythene are the same material. Polythene is a common term for polyethylene in certain countries, particularly in the UK and India. Both refer to a type of synthetic polymer that is widely used in various applications, such as packaging and manufacturing.
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
Ethanol is less viscous than ethylene glycol at the same temperature. This is because ethanol only has one -OH group, which is responsible for viscosity.
Hope this helped! No....Polymer Clay and Reg. Clay are not the same. For One Polymer Clay can be 'cured' in your home oven where other clay need either air to dry them or a High Fire Kilm.
Yes

No, polyolefin and polyamide are not the same. Polyolefin is a type of polymer made from olefin monomers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, while polyamide is a type of polymer made from amide monomers, such as nylon. They have different chemical compositions and properties.
No, PE is an abbreviation for polyethylene. The abbreviation for polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) is PET.

no
This question really doesn't have an answer. Unusual how? One that tends to surprise people is the polymerization of propylene. If you do a free radical polymerization of ethylene, you get polyethylene. If you do a free radical polymerization of styrene, you get polystyrene. But if you try the same thing on propylene, you don't get polypropylene, you get polyethylene. (Despite not being what you might expect at first glance, it's not a mistake or an accident; it does make perfect sense if you think about it carefully.)
They are similar but different. PVC is stronger & more rigid than polyethlene and is used for wastelines & polyethylene is used for water lines.

No, there are big differences in the chemical composition.
