Precision and accuracy are completely different concepts. Let's explore what they really mean, and how to tell the difference. 1  Resolution is the fineness to which an instrument can be read.  Precision is the fineness to which an instrument can be read repeatably and reliably.
1980s & 90s-High Performance Plastics. 1980 - First production of linear low density polyethylene. 1980 - First Blue HDPE pressure pipes for potable water introduced into UK. 1982 - First artificial heart made mainly of polyurethane, introduced implanted in a human.
Polyethylene, LDPE and HDPE: The most common polymer in plastics is polyethylene, which is made from ethylene monomers (CH2=CH2). The first polyethylene was made in 1934. Today, we call it low-density polyethylene (LDPE) because it will float in a mixture of alcohol and water.
