Abstract
The influences of ultrasonic oscillations on rheological behavior and mechanical properties of metallocene‐catalyzed linear low‐density polyethylene (mLLDPE)/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) blends were investigated. The experimental results showed that the presence of ultrasonic oscillations can increase the extrusion productivity of mLLDPE/LDPE blends and decrease their die pressure and melt viscosity during extrusion. Incorporation of LDPE increases the critical shear rate for sharkskin formation of extrudate, crystallinity, and mechanical properties of mLLDPE. The processing behavior and mechanical properties of mLLDPE/LDPE blends were further improved in the presence of ultrasonic oscillations during extrusion. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Films made of metallocene catalyzed polyethylene (mPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and their blend were prepared to investigate how LDPE influences the hot tack of film. Experimental results showed hot tack is independent of film thickness. The addition of 30 wt % of LDPE can increase the hot
## Abstract It is well known that the addition of a small amount of high‐pressure low‐density polyethylene (HP‐LDPE) to linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) can improve the optical properties of LLDPE, and LLDPE/HP‐LDPE blend is widely applied to various uses in the field of film. The optical ha
## Abstract The effect of the branch content (BC) and composition distribution (CD) of linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) on the thermal and mechanical properties of its blends with LDPE were studied. All blends and pure resins were conditioned in a Haake PolyDrive blender at 190°C and in the
