Abstract

AbstractMeasured melt viscosities and primary normal stress coefficients are presented for a well‐characterized, rubbermodified polystyrene as a function of shear rate and mineral oil diluent concentration. The logarithmic blending relationship accurately predicts the observed data. Melt relaxation times and shear compliance data are also calculated. The compliance numbers are consistent with molecular models based on a simple dumbbell (appropriately modified for rubber and mineral oil addition).
