Crystallization-Based Fractionation Techniques

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Separation Techniques for Polyolefins

Part of the book series: Springer Laboratory ((SPLABORATORY))

Abstract

The vast majority of commercial polyolefins are semi-crystalline materials. Depending on the chemical composition and tacticity, their melting temperatures range from ambient to temperatures exceeding 160 °C. Polyolefins form various crystalline structures that can be investigated with microscopic, spectroscopic and scattering techniques. For the analysis of the chemical composition and branching, crystallization-based fractionation methods can be used. This chapter discusses analytical techniques that are based on the crystallizability of polyolefins from dilute solutions. Experimental set-ups will be presented for the fractionation of olefin copolymers and polyolefin blends.
