Abstract: Crystallization behavior of the single-site catalysed ethylene-octene-1 copolymer(LLDPE) has been investigated.The results indicate that the distribution of branches in thenovel LLDPEis more homogeneous and regular than that in materials prepared with Ziegler-Natta catalysts.However, there is still some variability in inter-branch separation.Thework has confirmed that branches trend to be excluded from crystals formed by branchedpolyethylene, but it is dependent on branch distribution and crystallization dynamics.

Key words: Novel LLDPE, Crystallization behavior, Branch distribution
