Notes:
Flow properties for low-density and high-density polyethylene over a broad range of shear stress are described. Flow equations presented in literatures are tested from the point of view of the extrapolating method for evaluating the zero shear viscosity. It is shown that the method based on the equation of Cross gives relatively good results. The recoverable shear strain calculated from the capillary end correction is practically equal to that determined from the creep experiment at the same shear stress. The effect of shear stress on the elastic property is examined.
