Competition between phase separation and crystallization in polyolefin blends

In this thesis, the crystallization and melting of blends of high and low density homogeneous ethylene-1-octene copolymers with appended long chain branches have been investigated in real time by means of time-resolved SALS under cross-polarized and parallel-polarized optical alignments using a char...
