Abstract: | Solution crystallization of metallocene short chain branched polyethylene (SCBPE) was carried out and very nicesingle crystals were obtained. Compared with single crystals grown from linear polyethylene, SCBPE single crystals are dirtydue to intermolecular heterogeneity The crystal morphology changes with crystallization temperatures. Lozenge, truncatedlozenge, hexagonal, rounded and elongated crystal morphologies have been found at much lower crystallization temperaturethan in linear polyethylene. The electron diffraction shows there is a possibility that the single crystals may have hexagonalpacking in a crystallization temperature range. The lateral habits of single crystal are discussed based on roughening theories. |
