Summary:In order to fractionate high pressure polyethylene successfully, the solubility of the samples with difflerent branches and molecular weights in p-xylene-ethylcellosolve mixtures was measured. It was found that the selective deposition of high pressure polyethylene with increasing molecular weight was accomplished in the mixed solvent of xylene-ethylcellosolve (volume ratio 100/50). The Effect of loading of high pressure polyethylene on the efficiency of fractionation was checked by comparing cumulative molecular weight distribution curves and by ultracentrifugation method. In addition, the small scale fractionation was compared with the large scale one. The Schlieren patterns of the fractions obtained in both cases show satisfactory fractionation.
