Impact of Prepolymerization Monomer on Polymerization and Properties of LLDPE

Abstract

One of the methods of synthesis of linear low-density polyethylene is the use of pre-polymerization method. In this research, propylene, 1-butene and ethylene were used as prepolymers at 35 °C. Also, various tests were performed to analyze the obtained polymers by pre-polymerization method. The results obtained in the melt flow index test showed that ethylene monomer had the lowest value. It also had the better properties.
