B. Pena et al., MONOMER SEQUENCE DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE COPOLYMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE AND 1-DECENE, Macromolecular chemistry and physics, 195(7), 1994, pp. 2457-2467
Four ethylene-1-decene copolymers, covering a wide range of compositio
ns, were analyzed in solution by means of C-13 NMR spectroscopy. A det
ailed assignment of the signals to the different triad sequences was c
arried out. The experimental triad distributions were compared with ca
lculations assuming Bernouillian and first-order Markov statistics, fi
nding a better agreement for the latter model. The triad distributions
were also used for the determination of the reactivity ratios of the
two comonomers.
