β¦ Synopsis
Using fluorescence, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence techniques it is established that there are several types of luminescence centres, most of which are unattached to the polymer main chain and distributed in different structural regions. The principal centres in the amorphous regions are free molecules of anthracene and a derivative of phenanthrene with possibly molecules of a naphthalene derivative attached to the polymer chain. In the crystalline region the luminescence centres are almost entirely benzoic acid with some alkyl-aryl ketone, the latter being formed from benzoic acid by oxidation. The presence of other luminescence centres is demonstrated, but identification is only tentative.

In the present publication, a method to identify and distinguish between different types of low-density polyethylene based on thermal fractionation and FTIR analysis is described. It was shown that during thermal fractionation four to seven endothermic peaks are obtained as opposed to one or two pea
The crystallization of a series of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)-and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)-rich blends was examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC analysis after continuous slow cooling showed a broadening of the LLDPE melt peak and subsequent increase in the
