One of the main uses of the “linear σ-olefins” prepared by oligomerization of ethylene is in the preparation of linear low-density polyethylene. Linear low-density polyethylene is a copolymer produced when ethylene is polymerized in the presence of a “linear σ-olefin” such as 1-decene [CH2 ≡ CH (CH2)7CH3]. 1-Decene replaces ethylene at random points in the growing polymer chain. Can you deduce how the structure of linear low-density polyethylene differs from a linear chain of CH2 units?
