What will I learn?
This course provides a clear guide to designing and improving polyethylene production processes. Learners will gain expertise in radical and coordination polymerisation methods, reaction kinetics, and molecular weight management to achieve Mn around 150,000 with precise distribution. It covers how branching, microstructure, and operating conditions influence material properties for packaging films, including practical industrial data, catalyst options, and checklists for immediate use.
