โฆ Synopsis
The composition of the high molecular weight tail in the branched polyethylene standard reference material SRM 1476 was studied in detail using size exclusion chromatography coupled with a refractive index, a viscosity, and a light scattering on-line detector. The light scattering determinations of both molecular weight and radius of gyration point at a difference in kind between the molecular species below and above 10 6 Da. In particular, above 10 6 Da, increases in molecular weight resulted in a marked "densification" process. This is consistent with a greater concentration of long-chain branching and/or with a change in molecular architecture. Previous literature results for this polymer and a critical comparison of the performance of the different detectors are also discussed.

## SYNOPSIS The mean length and the indices of long-chain branches (LCBs) of a high-pressure lowdensity polyethylene (HPLDPE) as a function of molecular weight have been determined for its molecular-weight-fractionated parts by the I3C-NMR analysis and the viscosity measurements. The mean LCB leng
Polymerization of ethylene in a CSTR using a combined metallocene catalyst system (combination of an open-face catalyst, such as Constrained Geometry Catalyst, and a conventional metallocene catalyst) was studied. Using the model developed by Soares and Hamielec, and expanded by Beigzadeh et al., a
