Evaluation of the Use of a Semi-hyperbolic Die for Measuring Elongational Viscosity of Polymer Melts

The semi-hyperbolic (SHPB) die with and possibly without wall lubrication has been proposed as a device for measuring the elongational viscosity of polymeric fluids. Using numerical simulation under the condition of complete wall slip, it was found for two polyethylenes (LDPE and LLDPE) that the cal...
