A high‐density polyethylene prepared at low pressures is characterized with respect to density, microscopic examination, mechanical properties, and diffusion. The data for the slowly cooled, nonisothermally crystallized polymer clearly indicate that the method of preparation grossly affects the final properties of the polymer.
