Abstract: The rheological property for blends of high density polyethylene (PE-HD) and ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) were studied using a double capillary rheometer of constant speed type. the major attention was paid to the effects of EVA contents on the viscosity and the extrusion pressure oscillation. At low shear rate, the viscosity of the blend was sensitive to EVA contents, and exhibited almost a linearly decrease with increasing content of EVA. By blending PE-HD with EVA, the extrusion pressure oscillation can be suppressed; the critical shear rate was increased and the amplitude of pressure oscillation was reduced.
