✦ Synopsis


The change in melt flow properties, as determined by melt index measurement, as a function of shear history, has been measured for linear polyethylene. It is shown that a drop in melt index occurs when a polymer sample which has had no previous shear history is melted and subjected to shear mixing. This fact is attributed to a molecular homogenization of a previously unmixed blend. An analytical model of the laminar flow in a pipe of concentric adjacent fluids with different viscosities is presented. The model indicates that the effective viscosity of this non-homogeneous system is much lower than the viscosity of an intimate blend of the same viscosity fluids.

## Abstract During a capillary extrusion with several different polyethylenes, we observe an abnormal rheological behavior. The nominal viscosity of some polyethylene melt in the gross melt fracture regime does not change with the temperature. Several metallocene‐catalyzed linear low density polyet
