Mw = molecular weight<br />

JC — resin dependent constant<br />

The approximate value of JC for LDPE is<br />

JC = 2.28 <strong>•</strong> 10" 4<br />

and for polyamide 6<br />

K'= 5.21 <strong>•</strong> 10" 14<br />

according to the measurements of LAUN [21].<br />

These values are based on zero viscosity.<br />

1.3.7.8 Viscosity of Two Component Mixtures<br />

The viscosity of a mixture consisting of a component A and a component B can be<br />

obtained from [17]<br />

1.4 Viscoelastic Behavior of Polymers<br />

(1.48)<br />

Polymer machinery can be designed sufficiently accurately on the basis of the relationships<br />

for viscous shear flow alone. However, a complete analysis of melt flow should include<br />

both viscous and elastic effects, although the design of machines and dies is rather difficult<br />

when considering melt elasticity and therefore rarely used. WAGNER [18] and FISCHER<br />

[19] made attempts to dimension dies taking elastic effects into account.<br />

For a more complete picture of melt theology the following expressions for the viscoelastic<br />

quantities according to LAUN [20, 21] are presented. The calculation of the deformation<br />

of the bubble in film blowing is referred to as an example of the application of Maxwell's<br />

model.
