Shear and elongational data of blends of linear (LLDPE) and branched (LDPE) polyethylene are reported. Blends show thermo-rheological complex behavior. Also, in unidirectional shear or elongational flow, the linear-viscoelastic deformation regime of the blends is significantly reduced, and the terminal relaxation times of the blends are shifted in the direction of the LDPE homopolymer. Quantitative...
The strain hardening of blends of polystyrene (PS) and ultra-high molecular weight polystyrene (UHMW-PS) in elongational flow is modeled by the molecular stress function (MSF) theory. Assuming that the ratios of strain energies stored in polydisperse and monodisperse polymers are identical for linear and nonlinear deformations, the value of the only non-linear parameter of the theory in extensional...
