Measurements of Flow Fields of Polymer Melts by Laser-Doppler Velocimetry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Deformation and Flow of Polymeric Materials

Abstract

Capillary rheometers and processing machines are “black boxes” regarding the knowledge of the flow fields of polymer melts within them. With the laser-Doppler velocimetry it is possible to quantitatively measure velocity fields. The flow behavior of various polymer melts is shown in this chapter for different positions within a slit die. Velocity distributions at the entrance and the exit of a slit capillary together with those in the slit are presented and discussed.
