Abstract: | ![]() Conclusions As judged from the fibre tensile strength-extrudate draw speed relationship for UHMWPE solutions in paraffin oil, carbon black particles diminish flow instabilities and extrudate irregularities as does EPDM rubber. Reductions in fibre tensile strength by both additives is caused by their weakening the fibre structure.Increasing the shear rate at the wall by using a more abrupt die geometry lowers drastically the mechanical properties of the fibres. |
