Summary

The influences of short chain branching (SBC) on the melt miscibility of low-density

polyethylene (LDPE) with linear high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated

by rheological methods. Two LDPE resins with different branch contents were

blended with the same linear HDPE. Dynamic and steady shear measurements were

carried out using a Rheometrics ARES rheometer at 190degreesC. The rheology of

the low-SCB LDPE (9 CH3/1 000 C) blends with HDPE can be predicted by the

linear additivity rule. Hence, blends wee suggested to be completely miscible at all

compositions. However, blends of the high branch content LDPE (SCB = 19 CH3/1

000 C) were completely immiscible. Also, the different viscous and elastic properties

of all the immiscible blends were much higher than the corresponding values for the

more viscous and elastic blend component. The ratio of interfacial tension to droplet

radius was estimated from Scholz et al. model as approximate to1 500 N . m(-2). The

level of SCB in LDPE was found to have a strong influence on its miscibility with

linear HDPE.
