Thermal fractionation by successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) technique. Amongst the thermal fractionation methods, the SSA technique is the most efficient and sensitive. It is mostly employed for ethylene/a-olefin copolymers in order to evaluate in a quick way their short-chain branching (SCB) distribution. However, it can be employed to analyze the effect that any defect along the chain can produce in the distribution of linear crystallizable sequences. 

In contrast to the PE-6-PS block copolymers, when PE is covalently bonded to poly(ethylene-alt-propyl-ene) (PEP), a strong diluent effect is observed upon PE crystallization, and in the extreme case of EnEPgg, fractionated crystallization was also observed for the PE block. Additionally, the difference between being bonded to a rubbery block or bonded to a glassy block was studied by successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA). The results showed that the dilution effect of...
