β¦ Synopsis
Shear, isothermal and non-isothermal elongational data have been collected for a wide range of linear low density polyethylenes with different structures. In particular the samples differ both in molecular weight and in the comonomer. All the data show that the rheological behaviour is strongly affected by the molecular weight but only slightly influenced by the nature of the comonomer. Only the non-Newtonian behaviour in shear flow seems appreciably dependent on the length of the chain in the comonomer.
