Crystalline nanofibers of linear polyethylene were formed through ethylene confined polymerization with porous polymer microspheresupported titanocene. Polyethylene nanofibers (<70 nm) aggregated to form intertwined thicker fibers (300 nm to 22 mm). The obtained PE has high M w and T m . Interestingly, the high T m (142.4 C) was maintained in the second stage of heating.
