  • Alkenes in Plastics: Examples & Applications of Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and Polystyrene
    * Polyethylene (PE): PE is the most common type of plastic and is used in a wide variety of applications, including packaging, bottles, and toys. It is made from the monomer ethylene.

    * Polypropylene (PP): PP is another common type of plastic that is used in a variety of applications, including packaging, car parts, and furniture. It is made from the monomer propylene.

    * Polystyrene (PS): PS is a versatile plastic that is used in a variety of applications, including food packaging, cups, and toys. It is made from the monomer styrene.

    * Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): PVC is a durable plastic that is used in a variety of applications, including pipes, flooring, and window frames. It is made from the monomer vinyl chloride.

    * Polyethylene terephthalate (PET): PET is a strong and lightweight plastic that is used in a variety of applications, including bottles, food containers, and clothing. It is made from the monomers ethylene terephthalate.
