Collection description

The present work concerns the use of rheology to obtain quantitative information on the microstructure of polyolefin-based materials. Such properties have crucial implications along both directions of the chain-of-knowledge of polymeric materials. Moving backwards, in the direction of polymer synthesis, rheology is able to link the material response to the details of the molecular architecture. Moving forwards, in the direction of technological applications, rheology is able to provide a relevant link to the processing as well as to the final material properties. Determining the molecular structure of polyolefin-based materials is a relevant scientific and technological challenge. Molecular weight, its distribution, and structural details are fundamental parameters for materials design and processing, but often difficult to ascertain. The main objective of the present work is to study the molecular details of specific polyolefin-based systems through an innovative rheological approach. Linear rheology is measured in concentrated, entangled solutions, instead of melts, thus overcoming some intrinsic experimental difficulties encountered in measuring the latter. Molecular models and constitutive equations for entangled solutions are used to extract the quantitatively relevant microstructural information.
