| Abstract: | Experimental data of two low-density polyethylene (LDPE) melts at 200°C for both shear flow (transient and steady shear viscosity as well as transient and steady first normal stress coefficient) and elongational flow (transient and steady-state elongational viscosity) as published by Pivokonsky et al. (J Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech 135:58–67, 2006) were analysed using the molecular stress function model for broadly distributed, randomly branched molecular structures. For quantitative modelling of melt rheology in both types of flow and in a very wide range of deformation rates, only three nonlinear viscoelastic material parameters are needed: Whilst the rotational parameter, a 2, and the structural parameter, β, are found to be equal for the two melts considered, the melts differ in the parameter  describing maximum stretch of the polymer chains. |
