Abstract
The Filament Stretching Rheometry (FSR) method developed by Sridhar,
McKinley and coworkers for polymer solutions has been
extended to be used also for polymer melts. The design of a melt-FSR
will be described and differences to conventional melt elongational
rheometers will be pointed out. Results for LDPE up to 7 Hencky
strain units show a maximum in the transient elongational viscosity
followed by a steady stress. Also results for monodisperse PS fractions will be shown and discussed.
