Based on thermal analysis, the isothermal and nonisothemal crystallization kinetics of Ziegler-Natta catalyzedlinear low density polyethylene (Z-N LLDPE) and metallocene catalyzed LLDPE (m-LLDPE) were studied. Treating theresults with the Avrami equation and the Ozawa equation, the crystallization constant Igk and the Avrami exponent n wereobtained. Some other crystallization parameters were also discussed. According to the different characteristics of the chainstructures of Z-N LLDPE and metallocene LLDPE, their crystallization behaviors were analyzed. It is indicated that thehomogeneity and heterogeneity of the two polymers act in different way during the crystallization process of polymers,including the nucleation and the growth of crystals under various conditions.
