Summary: Solution crystallization analysis by laser light scattering offers a direct way of studying the solution crystallization of polyolefins. The technique yields similar results to Crystaf, but in a shorter time and with apparently greater sensitivity in some cases. The use of SCALLS is demonstrated for the study of selected propylene/higher α ‐olefin copolymers. Some conclusions are also drawn regarding the effect of molecular weight on the solution crystallization of polyolefins.
