Abstract Polyethylene, a flexible and extensively employed polymer, has been instrumental in shaping the contemporary world. As a constituent of the polyolefin group, it constitutes over 30% of the worldwide plastics market, reaching nearly 110.13 million metric tons in 2022 [1].Polyethylene is recognized for its outstanding chemical resistance, affordability, and ease of processing. This thermoplastic polymer finds extensive applications in packaging, agriculture, construction, and diverse consumer products. Its broad usage is justified by its lightweight characteristics, durability, and versatility in shaping [2].Polyethylene’s contemporary uses highlight its flexibility and adaptability across various industries. Its ongoing development and incorporation into state-of-the-art technologies emphasize its importance in today’s industrial environment. Polyethylene has achieved success in numerous healthcare applications and is expected to continue playing a pivotal role in the clinical realm. This is driven by advanced manufacturing techniques that promise customized and patient-specific devices, superior tissue integration, and reduced costs and risks [3]. Moreover, polyethylene finds application in floating floors featuring a seamless floor screed or a protective coating, as well as in insulation setups for timber-framed cottages and the insulation of warehouses and hangars without frames [4]. |
