Abstract Ethyleneα-olefin copolymers differ from other polyethylenes in that: - there is no long chain branching; - short chain branching is determined by the comonomer unit; - the molecular mass distribution is sharp; - the side chain distribution on different molecules is broad; - the sequential distribution of branching is very broad along the molecular chains, which becauses a multi-peak lamella distribution, and a multi-peak melting heat. With the help of a cross-fractionation method we interpreted the differences of the experimental data, according to the molecular mass fractionation and the branching received. The thermal history has a great influence on ethylene-α-olefin copolymers, evidenced in the crystallization time for the same branching type, but with extremely varied branching percentages.
