Melt rheological properties of polypropylene-maleated polypropylene blends. I. Steady flow by capillary

Melt rheological properties of blends of polypropylene (PP) and PP grafted with maleic anhydride (PP‐g‐MA) are studied using a capillary rheometer. A pseudoplastic flow behavior is observed. The pseudoplasticity of the melt reduces with an increase of PP‐g‐MA content and/or temperature. The PP‐g‐MA...

Zusammenfassung:Melt rheological properties of blends of polypropylene (PP) and PP grafted with maleic anhydride (PP‐g‐MA) are studied using a capillary rheometer. A pseudoplastic flow behavior is observed. The pseudoplasticity of the melt reduces with an increase of PP‐g‐MA content and/or temperature. The PP‐g‐MA component in the blend acts as decreasing melt viscosity, especially in the lower shear rate region, while the addition of PP‐g‐MA to PP does not cause obvious increase of die swell ratio. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
