N2 - Blown film samples of linear low density polyethylene resins copolymerized with butene, hexene, and octene were characterized in terms of various mechanical and optical properties which included tensile, impact, tear, puncture, haze, and gloss. The microstructure development aspects were also investigated employing crystallinity and density, infrared dichroic ratio, and birefringence, and focusing on various positions along the circumference of the bubble. The ultimate properties, and the microstructure of the blown film samples, were found to depend strongly on the extent of short chain branching and on the comonomer employed.
