Notes:
Melt strength (MS) and breaking stretching ratio (BSR) data relative to polyethylenes with different molecular structure (high density (HDPE), low density (LDPE), and linear low density (LLDPE)) are shown. HDPE and LLDPE samples show high breaking stretching ratio and low melt strength values. The LDPE samples exhibit very large melt strength values but low breaking stretching ratio values. For the last mentioned samples, differences are shown in the non-isothermal elongational behavior between samples polymerized with tubular and vessel technology. For all the samples, MS decreases with increasing melt index while BSR increases with melt index.
