โฆ Synopsis
Within crystalline regions of polyethylene the molecular axes are parallel. The cross section perpendicular to the molecular axes shows an elementary cell containing two molecules with the relative orientations illustrated in fig. 1. The longer odd n-paraffins crystallise in layered orthorhombic structures in which the molecules in each layer have relative orientations similar to those in polyethylene.
Group theoretical considerations show that the two optical normal mode vibrations of the lattice illustrated in fig. 2 are infrared active as a result of the molecular distor-

A comparison is made of two methods by which one may derive molecular weight distribution and degree of long-chain branching using only the measured solution viscosity of a branched polyethylene whole polymer and its GPC trace. These are (a) Drott and Mendelson method and (b) Ram and Miltz procedure
## Abstract The viscosity functions of longโchain branched metalloceneโcatalyzed ethene homopolymers and copolymers (LCBโmPE) were described by an extended CarreauโYasuda model.

## Abstract In the present study a population balance approach is described to follow the time evolution of bivariate molecular weightโlong chain branching (MWโLCB) distributions in high pressure low density polyethylene autoclaves. The model formulation is based on a sectional grid method, the soโ
## 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
