Which of the following is a characteristic of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) ?
A
Low-Density Polyethylene is stronger and stiffer than High-Density Polyethylene but its impact strength is not so good at low temperature
B
Low-Density Polyethylene consists primarily of unbranched molecules with very few flaws to mar its linearity
C
With extremely low levels of defects to hinder organization, a high degree of crystallinity can be achieved
D
Low-Density Polyethylene contains substantial concentrations of branches that hinder crystallisation
