description

The rheological properties in shear flow and non isothermal elongational flow of two biodegradable polymers, belonging to two different classes of materials, have been measured and compared with those of a film blowing grade high density polyethylene in order to assess the filmability of these polymers. The mechanical properties of isotropic and anisotropic samples have been also reported.
