A new technique for characterization of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is presented in this report. The molecular structure of two commercial LL-DPEs, produced by copolymerization of ethylene with 1-butene over a Ziegler-Natta and a metallocene catalyst, was investigated. The LLDPE resins w

✦ Synopsis
Preparative temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) on commercial linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) samples has been performed. The resulting fractions exhibited a bimodal and a unimodal distribution, respectively. Two LLDPE fractions of low (5 C H 3 / l ~ C) and high (21 C H 3 / l W C) short-chain branching content were solution-mixed with the LDPE central fraction (16 CH3/1000 C). Indirect evidence based on differential scanning calorimetry results suggest that the fractions with similar branch contents are more miscible than those with dissimilar ones.

Three commercial LLDPE samples with ethyl, hexyl and isobutyl branches were fractioned by cross chromatographic fractionation methods, i.e. a combination of SEC and TREF techniques. The fractions with different molecular weight distribution (MWD) and short chain branching distribution (SCB) were obt
