Experimental separation of the onset of slip and sharkskin melt instabilities during the extrusion of silica‑filled, styrene–butadiene rubber compounds
[en] The flow curves of polymers often reveal the onset of melt instabilities such as sharkskin, stick–slip, or gross melt fracture, in order of increasing shear rates. The focus of this work lies in the application of the Göttfert sharkskin option to the investigation of flow curves of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. The sharkskin option consists of highly sensitive pressure transducers located inside a slit die of a capillary rheometer. This tool allows the detection of in-situ pressure fluctuation characteristics of different melt instabilities. It is shown that the change of slope of the transition region in the flow curves is only linked to slip. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) measurements furthermore show that the shear rate at which the change of slope can be observed shows the same temperature dependency as the viscous and elastic properties of the compounds.
