Melt Fracture Analysis Using an in-Line Camera
Source abstract
Abstract
A low melt flow rate metallocene polypropylene is cast into film with and without melt fracture. Using an in-line camera, melt fracture is quantitatively described using real-time measurements of film defects. Melt fracture causes more variation in light transmittance, leading to a higher defect count. This measure of film optics is more sensitive to melt fracture than haze or gloss.
