The position of the peak maxima of these curves was found directly from the DSC endotherms for Indium and HDPE-1. For M-ULDPE, the DSC curves was peak-fit with a software package(peakfit , ) as shown for the 10c/min in Figure 19. The maxima of the three peak-fit curves for each heating rate were found for M-ULDPE from peak-fit curves, as shown, for example, in Figure 19. The shifting of the peak maxima for indium, HDPE-1, and three peaks of M-ULDPE(determined by peak fitting) are plotted as a function of heating rate in Figure 20. It may be observed in Figure 20 that all the lines have reasonably similar slopes , indicating that the maxima of the three peaks of MULDPE and maxima of the indium and HDPE-1 curves move towards higher temperature at similar rate as a function of the heating rate. This result confirms that the melting of isothermally crystallized M-LLDPE do not involve appreciable mrr but rather that the shifting of the melting peak maxima with the heating rate is simply due to thermal lag in DSC. Furthermore, the shifting of the peak maxima for MULDPE is the same as that observed for indium and HDPE-1, which certainly do not involve mrr. |
