Abstract An experimental study on the effect of gel and nonrubber constituents on the extrusion behavior of guayule rubber (GR) has been carried out. At 140°C, gel increases the viscosity at low shear rates. When GR is properly stabilized, no peptizing effect is imparted by the resin. However, the resin acts as a moderate plasticizer as compared to paraffinic oil. At 120°C, the effect of gel is noticeable at high extrusion rates, increasing the viscosity, suggesting an increase in the tendency for the occurrence of flow-induced crystallization.

Di-block copolymers of polystyrene- b -ethylene-co-propylene in the selective solvent dodecane form highly monodisperse spherical micelles. At concentrations above about 3 wt % these form microdomains with crystalline order, and the type of lattice appears to depend on the shear treatment of the sample. Formation of long range order is enabled by very low shear rates and gives rise in small angle neutron scattering experiments to a pattern of diffraction spots. The formation of the long range order and the melting at high shear rates has been followed in a sequence of SANS experiments carried out on samples contained in a Couette cell.

Crystallization induced by flow in the capillary viscometer was studied for four grades of linear polyethylene. From rheological and DSC measurements it follows that crystallization was induced in all samples under study at temperatures higher than melting temperatures of the same samples crystallized at rest. The maximum temperature of flow-induced crystallization increases with increasing molar mass of polyethylene. Flow-induced crystallization of injection moulding grades of polyethylene only takes place in a limited interval of shear rates. This effect is explained as a consequence of the shear rate distribution in the capillary.
