Notes:
Solutions of linear low density polyethylenes in organic solvents formed thermoreversible gels on cooling. Gel-melting temperatures of the polymers in tetralin, decalin, and o-xylene were measured. They increased slowly with increasing polymer concentration. Experimental data were analyzed by the thermodynamic theory of Takahashi, Nakamura, and Kagawa, which is derived for the gel-melting temperature of a crystalline linear copolymer gel. A plot of the gel-melting temperature by the theory depended considerably on the kind of comonomer of the polymer.
