Terminal viscous and elastic properties of linear ethene∕ α -olefin copolymers

Terminal viscous and elastic properties of linear ethene∕ α -olefin copolymers Several linear ethene∕ α -olefin copolymers with butene, hexene, octene, dodecene, octadecene, and hexacosene as comonomers were characterized in linear-viscoelastic shear flow. Creep and creep recovery measurements were used to obtain the zero shear-rate viscosity η 0 and the steady-state elastic recovery compliance J e 0 . The correlation between the zero shear-rate viscosity and the weight average molar mass η 0 ( M w ) established for metallocene catalyzed high density polyethylene ( m HDPE ) was found to be obeyed by all samples containing comonomer contents up to 29 wt % . For the linear steady-state elastic compliance J e 0 an increase with growing molar mass M w or comonomer content w c was observed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Rheology The Society of Rheology

Abstract

Several linear ethene∕ α -olefin copolymers with butene, hexene, octene, dodecene, octadecene, and hexacosene as comonomers were characterized in linear-viscoelastic shear flow. Creep and creep recovery measurements were used to obtain the zero shear-rate viscosity η 0 and the steady-state elastic recovery compliance J e 0 . The correlation between the zero shear-rate viscosity and the weight average molar mass η 0 ( M w ) established for metallocene catalyzed high density polyethylene ( m HDPE ) was found to be obeyed by all samples containing comonomer contents up to 29 wt % . For the linear steady-state elastic compliance J e 0 an increase with growing molar mass M w or comonomer content w c was observed.
