Abstract
Polyolefins, which are products of polymerisation of unsaturated hydrocarbons of the olefin series, have a molecular weight in the range from several thousands to several millions. Depending on the type of monomer and method and mechanism of polymerisation the resulting polyolefins may differ in their structure and molecular weight. They can be used in many applications, for example as constructional plastics and in packaging, fibres, rubbers, and also as additives to control the viscosity of motor oils(1). As regards their scale of production polyolefins occupy the top position among mass-produced polymers(2).
