Abstract:Linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) materials may contain components, which are soluble at room temperature. These may influence physical properties or raise concerns for end‐users and regulatory bodies because LLDPE is widely used for food packaging. Due to the nonpolar and amorphous nature of the room temperature soluble part of LLDPE, its molecular characterization with common methods for polyolefin analysis, such as Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (TREF), Crystallization Fractionation (CRYSTAF… Show more
