A method of quantitative analysis of polypropylene/linear low density polyethylene blends was determined by using differential scanning calorimetry. The samples were prepared by means of extrusion process. The method of quantitative analysis was based on the principle that the melting enthalpies of the components in the mixture are proportional to their amount, but it has been found that the presence of two polymers in the blend has influence on the crystallization of its components. Previous studies seemed to neglect this phenomenon, so a linear correlation allowing to eliminate discrepancies between calculated and actual quantitative blend composition has been developed. This approach was proven to be more accurate than earlier directly proportional enthalpy—quantity dependence.

Model hexyl-branched linear low density polyethylene (C8-LLDPE) samples were synthesized by the ring-opening metathesis copolymerization (ROMP) of the 5-hexylcyclooct-1-ene (1) and cyclooctadiene (COD), followed by catalytic hydrogenation. The ROMP of 1 and copolymerization of 1 and COD using the Grubbs second generation catalyst (G2) afford polymers with the number of hexyl branches based on the feed composition. The resulting hexyl-branched polymers, poly(1) and poly(1-stat-COD), were completely converted into model C8-LLDPE samples by catalytic hydrogenation. The C8-LLDPE samples exhibit the expected reduction in density on branching content. The melting temperature (Tm), crystallization temperature (Tc), and heat of fusion/crystallization (ΔHm/ΔHc) of these materials were studied by differential scanning calorimetry.

The possibilities of applications of vibrational spectroscopy techniques (Raman spectroscopy) in the analysis and characterization of polymers are more and more used and accurate. In this paper, our purpose is to characterize Low Density Poly(Ethylene) (LDPE) grades by Raman spectroscopy and in particular with CH2 Raman vibration modes. With temperature measurements, we determine different amorphous and crystalline Raman assignments. From these results and on the basis of the evolution of CH2 bending Raman vibration modes, we develop a phenomenological model in correlation with Differential Scanning Calorimetry and in particular with crystalline lamella thickness determination.

The properties of blends made from low density polyethylene (LDPE) with various concentration of jackfruit seeds flour (JSF) with the presence of citric acid (CA) were investigated. The JSF content was varied from 0 to 20 wt%. The JSF were blended with LDPE by using an internal mixer (Brabender) at a temperature of 150°C. The test was carried out by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), with heating temperature of 100C/min. The crystallinity had improved with the presence of CA. However, the crystallinity slightly reduced with the increasing JSF content and further increased with the presence of CA.
