Raman Structural Study Of Olefin Blends

We carried out detailed Raman structural study ofmelt-mixed blends of linear low-densitypolyethylene (PE) and isotactic polypropylene (PP).The relative content of PE in the PE/PP blendsvaried from 13 to 75 %. We show that Ramanspectroscopy can be effectively used for aquantitative analysis of phase and conformationalcompositions of these blends. The changes in thesecompositions due to changing the content of theblend components are discussed. Also, we studied astructure of the amorphous phase of reactor blendsof PE with random ethylene/1-hexene copolymer(CEH)
