Abstract
Saja S. Al-Taweel, Hasan M. Luaibi
The rheological properties such as viscosity and flow rate are essential ones in determining the nanofillers in processing the nanoclay-polyethylene (NC-PE) composites in injection moulding. The aim of this paper is to investigate the rheological behaviour of plastic feedstock comprising of NC-PE composites by means of a capillary rheometry. In order to produce a defect-free component, the feedstock composition plays a critical factor and rigorous caution has to be taken while inserting feedstock with high solid loading and then excellent flowability. The viscosity and shear rate of various feedstock’s at NC ratio ranging from 0, 1, 2, 3 %wt. were measured at L/D=10 die and a load ranging from 40 to 80 kgf at temperatures of 140, 150, and 160 °C. The viscosity of these three samples was determined to show that the corresponding flow behaviour index changes from 0.4 to 0.7 expressing the non-Newtonian behavioural of the samples. The activation energy of the three samples at the mentioned temperatures was determined and found to be 36.5 to 69.88 kJ/mole depending on the load applied.
