Abstract
The viscosity properties of melts of fibre-forming polypropylene (PP) and poly(butylene terephthalate) blends were investigated in the entire range of ratios at different stresses and shear rate gradients at 230–250°C. It was shown that melts of fibre-forming PP and PBT blends are weakly crosslinked systems. The effect of the mass ratio of PP and PBT on the apparent activation energy of viscous flow of melts of the blends was investigated at different shear stresses and shear rate gradients. It was hypothesized that this blend can be assigned to the group of limitedly compatible systems. The probability of compatibility of the polymers in the melt appears when up to 20% PBT is incorporated in the PP. The blends are not compatible for the remaining ratios of polymers in the investigated system.
