In a Fbeotens experiment, the tensile force needed for elongation of an extruded filament is measured as a function of the draw ratio. For thermo-rheologically simple polymer melts, the existence of Rheotens-mastercurves is proven. Rheotensmastercurves are invariant with respect to changes in melt temperature. Also, for polymer melts with different average molar masses, but similar molar mass distribution and branching structure, Rheotens-mastercurves are invariant to changes in the average molar mass. It is shown, by testing several polyethylenes with different molar mass distribution and different long-chain branching, that Rheotens-mastercurves allow a direct and quantitative assessment of the drawability of polymei-melts under actual processing conditions, i.e. under the action of a constant tensile force and including the effects of the rheological prehistory in the extrusion die.
Ein Modell zur Berechnung einer ebenen mehrschichtigen nichtisothermen Scherströmung mit einem festen und einem freien Rand wird vorgestellt. Das Modell gilt für eine beliebige Schichtzahl, wobei die Einzelschichten sowohl flüssig als auch fest sein können. Mit Hilfe des mathematischen Modells werden Prozeßverläufe simuliert; die Temperatur und Geschwindigkeitsfelder werden berechnet.
