Abstract

A complex branched polyethylene resin with excellent processing and film-forming properties is fractionated through solvent gradient fractionation (SGF) technique. Here, the good solvent is 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (TMB) and poor solvent is ethyl cellosolve (ECS). The fractions are further analyzed using high-temperature gel permeation chromatography (GPC) coupled with triple detectors (refractive index (RI)-light scattering (LS)-viscometer (VIS)), and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR). The molecular weight distribution of SGF fractions is very narrow, most of them are less than 1.1. The molecular weights of SGF fractions gradually increase as the content of good solvent increases in the mixture. The fractions with different molecular weights all have branching structure, the short chain branching is major in all fractions and along with certain content of long chain branching. Branching distribution across the molecular weight distribution is discussed in detail, and branching distribution within a SGF fraction is also researched.
