a. Polyethylene vs. Polypropylene (5 points)
Polyethylene has smaller side groups (only H) compared to
polypropylene, and is easier to crystalize as it allows for tighter
o
Isotactic polypropylene’s more uniform and consistent arrangement allow for the chain to be
more easily folded and packed compared to the randomly spaced atactic polypropylene. Thus, it
is more likely for isotactic polypropylene to crystalize.
