Popis: | Viscoelastic parameters of low-density polyethylene melt (LDPE) in compression creep have been measured. Volume deformation (k%) increases as pressure (P) increases and temperature (T) decreases. Plots of the bulk creep compliance B(t) vs. time (t) may be shifted to provide master curves. As the pressure and the temperature increase, the pressure shift factors (bp and ap) increase almost linearly [activation volumes (ΔV*) varying from 1.0 to 15.0 cm3 mol], while the temperature-shift factors (bT and aT) decrease. The steady-state creep compliance (Bs) describes the recoverable storage of elastic energy (Be) and seems to be related to the extrusion die-swell (Bsc/Bsd). Volume viscosity (ηK) decreases with increasing stress (P) and increasing temperature (T). |
