Crystal orientations, tear strength and shrinkage of Linear Low-Density PolyEthylene (LLDPE) films made with different processes (compressed, cast and blown) were investigated. The films were made with three different LLDPE resins, respectively, which have similar density and molecular weight but are made with different comonomers (1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene), in order to investigate if tear strength in Machine Direction (MD) of the LLDPE films made with different comonomer has similar dependence on crystal orientation. Our study indicates that the films made of 1-hexene and 1-octene based LLDPE resins have significantly higher intrinsic tear strength and less decrease in MD tear strength for a given film orientation. That is, for a given orientation in MD, the MD tear drops dramatically for films made with butene-based resin but much less decrease for the films made with hexene and octene-based resins. The shrinkage property at high temperature shows a good correlation with crystal orientation and the fraction of the crystals melted at this temperature.
