Hydrostatic compression tests, capillary rheometry tests, and extrusion tests performed on unvulcanized rubber confirm importance of compressibility for die swell — Arguments from dimensional analysis

This paper aims at elucidating which factors are effective in terms of influencing the die swell of unvulcanized rubber upon extrusion. To that end, compression, viscosity, and extrusion tests were performed on two types of ethylene–propylene–diene rubbers, while additional compression tests were pe...
