Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has been used successfully to study the structure of polymer blends. 1" 5 A natural extension is to use synchrotron radiation for measurements of time-resolved structural changes during early stages of crystallization. 6" 8 In this paper, we report our time-resolved SAXS patterns of a blend of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and of the respective homopolymers. HDPE has Mw= 1.60 X10s g/mol,„/= 7.1, ca. one short chain branching per 1000 carbon atoms, and a density of 0.957 g/mL. The LDPE has Mw= 2.86 X 105 g/mol, Mw/Mn= 16,~ 26 short chains branching per 1000 carbon atoms, and a density of 0.920 g/mL. The blend is 50/50 of HDPE and LDPE by weight percentage. These are the same materials as used in a previous study. 5 SAXS measurements were carried out by using a mod-ified Kratky collimator9 adapted for synchrotron radiation at the SUNY beamline, NSLS, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The wavelength of X-ray used was 0.154 nm. We used a photodiode array of~ 2.5-cm window length as the linear position sensitive detector, which was mounted at a distance of 548 mm from the sample.
