Abstract
Shear and elongational flow properties have been studied for the binary blends of a linear polymer, such as isotactic polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS), and gel fraction of a crosslinked terpolymer composed of ethylene, 1-hexene, and ethylidene norbornene (gEHDM). It was found that the PP/gEHDM (97/3) blend exhibits marked strain hardening in the elongational viscosity, although the shear viscosity is almost the same as that of the pure PP. On the other hand, the PS/gEHDM (97/3) blend shows no strain hardening in the elongational viscosity.
