Melt rheology and extrudate swell properties of talc filled polyethylene compounds

An experimental study of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites filled with talc (0–15 wt.%) was carried out to investigate the rheological properties. The apparent melt viscosity, melt density, and die-swell ratio (B) of the composites were measured at constant shear stress and constant shear...
