Abstract
A binary blending law was proposed for a mixture which was composed of two narrowly distributed linear polymer fractions with different molecular weights and the high entanglement density. The relaxation spectrum was used to express the binary blending law and it was derived from the chain relaxation processes based on tube model theories as well as from the earlier observations on the viscoelasticity of linear polymers with bimodal molecular weight distribution. The proposed law showed good agreements with experimental data over a wide range of time or frequency for the viscoelastic properties such as shear stress relaxation modulus and dynamic moduli. It also showed good-fitted results for the compositional dependences of some viscoelastic constants such as zero-shear viscosity and recoverable compliance.
