✦ Synopsis
Branched low density polyethylene (LDPE) is known to exhibit a fl-transition around -20 ° due to molecular motion of short side chain branches situated in the interfacial regions of the lamellae. The effect of long periods of cold soaking of LDPE below the fl-transition has been investigated using the techniques of DSC, i.r., dilatometry and Raman active longitudinal acoustic modes. Cold soaking was found to produce an increase in crystallinity on a very small scale. It is suggested that the ordering occurs at the lamellar boundaries from the ordering and subsequent crystallization of short chain branches.

## Abstract It is well known that the addition of a small amount of high‐pressure low‐density polyethylene (HP‐LDPE) to linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) can improve the optical properties of LLDPE, and LLDPE/HP‐LDPE blend is widely applied to various uses in the field of film. The optical ha
