Melt strength and stretching ratio of low-density polyethylene composites loaded with nanoscale zinc oxide

The melt drawability including melt strength (MS) and stretching ratio (V) of the neat low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the LDPE composites loaded with a nanometer zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) were measured using a melt spinning method in capillary extruding temperature varied from 160 to 200 °C and wit...

description The melt drawability including melt strength (MS) and stretching ratio (V) of the neat low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the LDPE composites loaded with a nanometer zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) were measured using a melt spinning method in capillary extruding temperature varied from 160 to 200 °C and within capillary flow rate range from 9 to 36 mm/s. It was found that the stretching ratio of the neat LDPE and the LDPE/nano-ZnO composites reduced with an increase of capillary flow rate while the V added with in a rise of capillary temperature. The melt strength of the neat LDPE and the LDPE/nano-ZnO composites enlarged with raising capillary flow speed; the MS reduced with an addition of capillary temperature. In addition, the dependence of the MS of the composites on the capillary temperature approximately accorded the Arrhenius expression.
