Abstract

AbstractHigh‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) blends of varying composition have been evaluated in an effort to establish a mixing rule for melt flow index (MFI). In addition, a previously established relationship between MFI and for linear polymers was also evaluated for these blends. It was found that a parabolic relationship existed between the composition (by weight fraction) and MFI and that the MFI and relationship held for this set of polymeric materials. Additionally, all properties and relationships were evaluated over five extrusion cycles, which showed minimal to no deviations over the five cycles.
