Abstract

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) was blended into random copolymer Polypropylene (PPR) to alter the rheological capacity studied in extrusion. The blending was conducted with a single-screw extruder before pelletizing. Shown are the influences of blends ratio and shear rate on the rheological behaviors by capillary at 200 ℃. As the content of LDPE in PPR/LDPE rises, the apparent viscosity of the blends gradually decreases while the Non-Newtonian index of also decreases. LDPE, PPR and their blends appear in obvious shear-thinning behavior.

Keywords:Random copolymer polypropylene (PPR); Low density polyethylene (LDPE); Viscosity; Non-Newtonian index
