Rheological properties of blends of recycled HDPE and virgin polyolefins (2001)

Abstract
This paper investigates the rheological properties for blends of recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) and virgin polyolefins. It is found that there is an empirical relationship that could relate the Melt Flow Index (MFI) of the virgin component to shear viscosity ratio of the blend across a broad spectrum of MFI values for a variety of polyolefin systems.
