Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation was used to model the fractionation process in cryst allization analysis fractionation (CRYSTAF). Five poly(ethylene/1-octene) s amples synthesized with a single-site-type catalyst were used to verify the simulation results. It was proposed that the fractionation mechanism be co ntrolled by the crystallization of the longest ethylene sequence in each ch ain. Good agreement between experimental and simulation results verified th e validity of the proposed fractionation mechanism. (C) 2001 John Wiley & S ons, Inc.
