The Newtonian mixing rules for several binary systems have been experimentally investigated. Some systems show non-ideal mixing response and for some systems the non-ideal response is pressure-dependent, yielding an opportunity for manipulation of the pressure-viscosity behavior to advantage. The mixing of differing molecular weight “straight cuts” can produce very different pressure-viscosity response. This behavior underscores the difficulty in predicting the pressure-viscosity coefficient based upon chemical structure and ambient viscosity since the molecular weight distribution is also important, but it also provides another opportunity to control the high-pressure response by blending. The first experimental observation of double shear-thinning within a single flow curve is reported. Blending then provides the capability of adjusting not only the Newtonian viscosity but also the non-Newtonian shear-thinning response as well.

Simulations are employed to establish the feasibility of achieving controlled/living ethene polymerizations. Such simulations indicate that reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents carrying a fluorine Z group may be suitable to establish control in high-pressure high-temperature ethene polymerizations. Based on these simulations, specific fluorine (F-RAFT) agents have been designed and tested. The initial results are promising and indicate that it may indeed be possible to achieve molecular weight distributions with a polydispersity being significantly lower than that observed in the conventional free radical process. In our initial trials presented here (using the F-RAFT agent isopropylfluorodithioformate), a correlation between the degree of polymerization and conversion can indeed be observed. Both the lowered polydispersity and the linear correlation between molecular weight and conversion indicate that control may in principle be possible.
