Abstract The dependence of predictive capabilities of SL EOS on the pure characteristic parameters of monomers and polymers is investigated. A sensitivity analysis study is carried out to understand the effect of these parameters on the predictive capability of SL EOS for different α‐olefin/polyolefins systems. Among all pure component characteristic parameters, the monomer characteristic temperature ( T * monomer ) has the largest impact on SL EOS predictive capability; whereas the polymer characteristic density ( ρ * polymer ) is found to have the smallest impact.
