Quantitative analysis of branched high-density polyethylene content using far-infrared spectroscopy.

This study describes a simple method for estimating the content of branched high-density polyethylene using spectroscopy including the terahertz region. Herein, we prepared samples by blending high-density polyethylene with a blend ratio of 0 %-100 % of branched and linear polyethylene. Then, the terahertz absorption spectra of these samples were recorded from 600 to 50 cm (18-1.
