Polymer structure and property studies in elongational rheology, spherulite deformation, and biaxial strain induced crystallization

A small scale, highly accurate elongational viscometer was developed explicitly for the rheological investigation of well characterized polyethylene samples. Elongational stress growth measurements as well as dynamic shear experiments demonstrated that the rheological response of molten polyethylene...
