Experimental separation of the onset of slip and sharkskin melt instabilities during the extrusion of silica-filled, styrene–butadiene rubber compounds

The flow curves of polymers often reveal the onset of melt instabilities such as sharkskin, stick–slip, or gross melt fracture, in order of increasing shear rates. The focus of this work lies in the application of the Göttfert sharkskin option to the investigation of flow curves of styrene-butadiene...
