Some low density polyethylenes (LDPE) with different melt flow index (MFI) or produced by different producers have been examined in detail by solvent gradient fractionation, I3C NMR analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and melt rheological measurements. It was found that the distribution curves of the samples resemble Wesslau's logarithmic-normal model. From branching analyses it can be concluded that the branching content in the analyzed LDPEs is independent from the molecular weight. Relations between viscosity curve parameters and molecular structure have been investigated. It has been found that the dependence of the first normal stress difference on the shear stress is influenced by polydispersity as well as by the character of samples branching. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Einige Polyethylene niedriger Dichte mit unterschiedlichem Schmelzindex (MFI) oder von verschiedenen Herstellern wurden nach Liisungsfraktionierung mittels 13C-NMR-und FTIR-Spektroskopie sowie schmelzerheologischen Messungen untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, dal3 die Verteilungskurven der Proben Wesslaus logarithmischer Verteilung entsprechen. Aus der Bestimmung der Verzweigungen kann geschlossen werden, dal3 deren Konzentration vom Molekulargewicht unabhangig ist. Eine Analyse der Beziehungen zwischen Viskositat und molekularer Struktur ergab, dal3 sowohl die Polydispersitat als auch der Charakter der Verzweigungen die erste Normalspannungsdifferenz beeinflussen.
