Abstract

Two high density polyethylene resins (HDPE) and two polyamide resins were studied to determine the crystallinity, thickness, density, and birefringence distributions, and fiber orientation of blow molded bottles of neat and glass fiber filled resins and ultimate properties of blown bottles. One HDPE was produced via a chromium catalyst while the second HDPE was produced via the Ziegler-Natta type reaction. The first polyamide is a chain extended, multi-branched, natural colored polyamide 6. The second polyamide resin is a chain extended, multi-branched polyamide 6 containing 12% (by weight) chopped glass fibers and carbon black.
