In a previous publicaitons from the authors.laboratotry a method was
developed to predict the structure and properties of low density
polyethylene (PE-LD) that could be obtained over a very wide range of
polymerization conditions. The method was proved using experimental data
from the literature. However, some shortcomings of the method were noticed.
The aim of this work was to overcome the shortcomings and to enable the
better manipulation of experimental data using a computer. A computer
program has been developed to establish the mathematical relationships
between ethylene entropy and the structural parameters and density of Pe-LD.
All available experimental data (more than 300 experimental points) have
elaborated and confirmed our mathematical models and our theoretical
predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
