The development of structure and viscoelastic properties during silane crosslink reaction in metallocene ethylene-octene copolymer has been investigated.

The evolution of crosslink content and viscoelastic properties was analyzed using a parallel-plate rheometer. The results showed that crosslinking process started with the hydrolyzation of methoxy groups in the near-surface layer, proceeding in a diffusion manner. At this stage no silanol groups could be detected, revealing that the condensation occurred promptly after hydrolyzation.
