An Explanation of Structure-Property Relationships for Polymer/Clay-Nanocomposites Through Melt Flow Birefringence and Rheological Damping Function

Rheological investigations are reported for pure polyolefin and its clay-nanocomposites to establish structure-properties relationship with respect to filler concentration. Flow birefringence is performed through an engineering geometry slit-die to obtain centerline principal stress difference durin...
