Abstract
Polyolefin block copolymer has been taking a great deal of attention due to their great potential in polymer industry since a new metallocene catalytic method for producing polyolefin block copolymer was developed by Dow Chemicals. However, so far, there was no systematic study of olefin block copolymer. In this review, Linear polyolefin block copolymers, containing semicrystalline poly (ethylene) (E) blocks and a rubbery block as a thermoplastic elastomer, were investigated in the viewpoint of microphase separation mode, microstructure, deformation behavior, and molecular architecture.
