[ 1 ] - Evaluation of continuous and discrete melting endotherms in determination of structural heterogeneities in Ziegler-Natta catalyzed linear low density polyethylene

Ethylene / 1-butene copolymers at different comonomer levels were synthesized using Ziegler-Natta catalyst to evaluate the applicability of thermal fractionation methods in predicting chemical composition distribution (CCD). The continuous melting endotherms by DSC were converted to continuous CCD, and the average comonomer contents were compared with NMR results. DSC underestimated comonomer c...
