Abstract
Polyolefins are the most important and most widely used synthetic polymers; their annual production exceeds 130 million metric tons. Polyolefin production continues to grow rapidly and new polyolefin grades are constantly being introduced in the market. The interest in polyolefins continues to grow due to the fact that polyolefins are made from simple, cheap and easily accessible monomers. Polyolefins have superior properties, including excellent chemical inertness, high crystallinity resulting in excellent mechanical strength, high thermal stability and high stability against thermo-oxidative degradation. The present chapter introduces to the molecular heterogeneity of polyolefins and methods to analyse these materials.
