IMPACT PROPERTIES OF METALLOCENE - CATALYZED ETHYLENE-α-OLEFIN COPOLYMERS*
摘要:
The impact properties of two selected metallocene-catalyzed ethylene-butene copolymers and one conventionalcopolymer were evaluated using Izod impact test. It is found that the metallocene-catalyzed copolymer shows superior impactproperties. This result was explained on the basis of the more homogeneous inter-molecular composition distribution andnarrower molecular weight distribution, which leads to more homogeneous morphology with fewer defects. Stepwise crystallization improves the impact properties,especially in the crack propagation process,to a large extent.This is due to the decrease of entanglements by stepwise crystallization,which is advantageous for the chain slip and shear.The polymer with heterogeneous intra-molecular composition distribution exhibits a more evident improvement of impact properties under stepwise crystallization.
