High-density polythene (HDPE) is manufactured using coordination polymerization. Which of the follow — Polymers Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Ziegler-Natta catalyst, heavily used for the coordination polymerization of ethene to yield linear HDPE at low pressures, consists of a mixture of a trialkylaluminium (such as triethylaluminium, $(C_2H_5)_3Al$) and a transition metal halide (such as titanium tetrachloride, $TiCl_4$).
