Rheological properties and morphology in LLDPE and PC based blends

Abstract During an interlaboratory project on polymer blends (Technical Working Party-Polymer Blends-VAMAS), the rheological characteristics of some samples of blends of polycarbonate with linear low density polyethylene have been evaluated with the aid of a capillary rheometer. Some morphological observations on the extruded samples have also been performed through SEM and an attempt has been made to correlate the macroscopic and microscopic results.
