“…The literature shows that the occurrence of a single intermediate melting peak, and sometimes a difference in crystallinity, would be observed when polyethylene blend components can cococrystallize. 2,[12][13][14][15][16] In conventional LLDPE, the low molecular weight, high comonomer fractions have a heterogeneous distribution, and consequently, the folding of these polymer chains during crystallization is not uniform, resulting thicker lamellae with a relatively low number of tie molecules. These tie molecules pass through crystalline lamellae into amorphous regions producing interphase bonding.…”
