Melt flow ratio: A way to identify the type of polyethylene
Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research, 2023 Melt flow ratio (MFR or I21/I2) was measured for dozens of polyethylene (PE) in the melt index (MI or I2) range of 1–10 for various types of PE. I21/I2 for samples of linear low density polyethylene (LLD) polymerized by a Ziegler-Natta catalyst (ZN-LLD ...
