โฆ Synopsis
The importance of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is being rapidly felt. The combination of favourable production economics and excellent product performance characteristics has enabled this new plastic to gain acceptance for a wide variety of applications. No studies on the rheological properties of LLDPE exist to date. The viscous and elastic properties of this new polymer has now been investigated and unified curves for viscosity and normal stress differences are given. The temperature dependence of the rheological properties of LLDPE has also been studied.

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
