Abstract

Effects of molecular characteristics such as melt index and shapes of molecular weight distribution on the charge formation in LDPE have been investigated. Both homocharge and heterocharge were observed in LDPE depending on the value of melt index. It was found that the LDPE having intermediate melt indices shows heterocharge while the LDPE having small and high melt indecies shows homocharge. The shapes of molecular weight distributions were also found to affect the space charge in LDPE. These were explained by the role of short chains having low molecular weight in LDPE.
