“…In some applications, promoting fluid solubility in semicrystalline polymers can be desirable. During PE production, greater concentrations of ethylene in the growing polymer grains near the catalyst sites increases the reaction rate and yield. , In the detergent and perfume industry, ensuring the persistence of certain ingredients in hair or fibers can lead to longer lasting freshness and softness. , Perhaps more importantly, the ability of oxidizing agents to diffuse within a semicrystalline polymer is one of the factors affecting the degradation rate when left in the environment. − This is particularly relevant today as the sheer amount of synthetic plastic produced combined with its short usage lifespan and long degradation times has led to serious concerns of the resulting environmental impact.…”

A recently developed statistical-mechanical model is applied systematically to estimate the fraction of tie-molecules (polymer chains linking different crystals directly or via entanglements) in semicrystalline polyethylene (PE) samples. The amorphous domains of the polymer are divided into constrained interlamellar domains and “free” outer-lamellar domains. A set of model parameters is assigned to each sample by correlating previous experimental measurements and minimizing the difference between the predicted solubility of pure hydrocarbons in the sample and the experimental values. We show that the sorption isotherms of multiple pure fluids in each sample can be described by a single parameter set, proving that the polymer–solute interactions (described accurately by the SAFT-γ Mie EoS) are decoupled from the sample-specific properties of the polymer. We find that ∼30% of the crystalline stems in the lamellae of PE are connected to tie-molecules, within the bounds suggested by previous theoretical and computational work. The transferability of the sample-specific parameters is assessed by predicting cosolubility effects and solubility at different temperatures, leading to good agreement with experimental data.
