The effect of die exit curvature, die surface roughness and a fluoropolymer additive on sharkskin extrusion instabilities in polyethylene processing

This paper reports experimental observations and numerical simulations relating to sharkskin extrusion instabilities for two different types of polyethylene, a metallocene high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Experimental results are presented for both the...
