Abstract

The transient (e.g. start up of) elongational viscosity of three low-density polyethylene (LDPE) melts (BASF Lupolen 1810H, 1840D and 3020D) was measured using a filament stretching rheometer (FSR) capable of measuring at elevated temperatures. The transient uni-axial elongational viscosity showed an overshoot in the transient elongational viscosity followed by a steady viscosity, in all three materials. This phenomenon was observed at high elongational rates. The steady uni-axial elongational viscosity was about 40-50% less than the maximum in the transient uni-axial elongational viscosity in both the 1840D and the 3020D LDPE melt.
