Flow-induced crystallization of high-density polyethylene : the effects of shear, uniaxial extension and temperature

The effects of shear, uniaxial extension and temperature on the flow-induced crystallization of two different types of two high-density polyethylenes (a metallocene and a Ziegler-Natta HDPE) are examined using rheometry. Shear and uniaxial extension experiments were performed at temperatures below a...
