Rheology studies of polyethylene/chemical blowing agent solutions within an injection molding machine
Abstract
Abstract An in‐line capillary rheometer nozzle equipped to a conventional reciprocating 55‐ton injection molding machine was used to study the viscosity of single phase low density polyethylene (LDPE)/chemical blowing agent (CBA) solutions under high shear rate in the concentration range of 0 to 5 wt%. The steady shear viscosity of LDPE with endothermic and exothermic chemical blowing agents was measured for shear rates ranging from 170 to …
