Abstract
A novel rheological measuring apparatus was designed, which introduced an additional sinusoidal vibration in parallel on the extruding direction of polymer melt in this paper. Melt rheology of polypropylene filled CaCO3 particles in various amounts of filler (i.e. with 3 and 20 wt%) during capillary melt-extrusion were investigated respectively. The effects of vibration parameters on rheological behaviors were studied. Compared with the steady extrusion, the apparent viscosity of filled system decreased remarkably with the increase of vibration frequency and amplitude. The apparent viscosity reached to the minimum value as vibration frequency was about 8 Hz. When the filled percentage of CaCO3 was low, the response of apparent viscosity will be more distinct with the increasing vibration parameters.
