Xuhuang Chen scite author profile

On the basis of an online sampling microscopy method, the morphological evolution of a metallocene polyethylene/metallocene ethylene-propylene copolymer system (80/20 vol %) across various mixing regimes was investigated and treated statistically. The size distributions of the minor-phase metallocene ethylene-propylene (mEP) droplets were described with principles of irreversible thermodynamics. Such an approach allowed us to find two superimposed statistical ensembles involving primary (broken) and secondary (coalesced) mEP particles. The mean size and relative number of both broken and coalesced mEP particles were calculated. The evolution of these characteristics across melt mixing, static coalescence, and flow-driven coalescence was analyzed.

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.
