✦ Synopsis

The Raman spectra of several different samples of polyethylene are reported. It appears that the spectra are sensitive to crystallinity and to the presence of impurities such as vinyl groups. The possible effect of the presence of gauche CHz groups are considered. There is definite evidence that Raman spectroscopy has value as an analytical technique for polyethylenes.
