A complete 13C NMR characterization of two linear low-density polyethylenes (LLDPE),
one highly branched and the other lowly branched, is presented. These LLDPE were synthesized with a
new catalyst: the [η3-methallyl-nickel-dad]PF6 complex by homopolymerization of ethylene, using different
experimental conditions. Methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, and long branches were assigned and
quantified.
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.
