Dynamic properties of polyethylene-copper oxide composite melts
Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of copper oxide on the rheological properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) such as viscosity, storage and loss modulus, phase angles, complex viscosity on the concentration of copper oxide and temperature. It was found that the addition of copper oxide to LDPE at a fix temperature did not affect the dynamic properties significantly. However, the copper oxide and temperature has particularly reduced the viscosity of the molten compound.
