Abstract
The suspensions of nickel fibers and high density polyethylene (HDPE) were characterized using Rheometrics System IV to study the effect of fiber aspect ratio and concentration. The incorporation of the fibers into the viscoelastic HDPE melt increased the uniaxial extensional stress growth function by about one order of magnitude. It also decreased the total strain at failure of the Ni/HDPE melt.
