This thesis deals with the relation between structure and resistance to failure by the mechanism of slow crack growth (SCG) in HDPE. In the theoretical part there are summarized previously acquired knowledge about the production of PE and about the relation between structure and resistance to failure by the SCG mechanism. In the experimental part, three samples of HDPE with the same melt index MI and the same content of copolymer 1- hexene were synthesized by using three chromium catalysts commonly used for polymerization in industry. There samples were analyzed by GPC-IR-MALS and TREF in order to determine the distribution of side chain branches. The results were discussed with respect to the time to failure FNCT.
