✦ Synopsis


Selected grades of LDPE and LLDPE have been melt-mixed over the complete range of compositions. The shear flow behaviour in the melt and the stress-strain behaviour in the solid phase of the blends show smooth variations with composition and are intermediate between those of the parent polymers. While LLDPE improves the mechanical strength of the blends, LDPE makes easier the processing of the blends, requiring low energy input.

Torque values and mechanical properties are reported for blends of low density with linear low density polyethylene (PE). The torque values show that incompatible mixtures in the molten state are formed when the torques of the pure polymers are almost equal. Semicompatible behaviour is shown in the

A linear low-density butene copolymer, of overall branch content 3 mol %, has been blended with a low-density polyethylene. The low-density polyethylene has an overall branch content of 5 mol %, including both long and short branches. The two materials were blended in a wide range of compositions an
