Abstract
The bulk of the extensive literature on the rheology of filled polymer systems [1–85] is focused on the flow behavior in shear. The extensional flow properties have been treated in a rather limited manner [1,4,14,27,29,86,87], despite the fact that knowledge of the rheology in shear mode generally does not allow prediction of the behavior in extension [88]. The reason for this is because steady extensional viscosity is in general difficult to measure, and also because filled polymers go less into applications involving the film blowing, fiber spinning and flat-film extrusion processes wherein the extensional flow is of importance.
