摘要

Metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) has superior physical and mechanical properties. However, mLLDPE has very poor film blowing processibility. To overcome this shortcoming, an electromagnetic dynamic extruding film blowing system for mLLDPE was developed. A vibration force field was superposed on the entire extruding process through the screw. The die pressure, the screw load, and the power consumption decreased and the melt strength increased as the vibration frequency and amplitude increased, implying that the bubble stability enhanced, which resulted in the improvement of the processibility. In addition, experimental data show that the film strength in the transverse direction greatly increased and the film mechanical properties in machine and transverse directions became more uniform, so the film quality was improved finally. This rule was confirmed by using two additional materials, high-density polyethylene and low-density polyethylene.
