Abstract
The polymer-metal interface in a sliding plate rheometer was modified by applying three fluoropolymer coatings to the plates in order to examine their effect on the wall slip behavior of a linear low density polyethylene. All three coating materials increased the slip velocity markedly. Furthermore, it was found that the critical shear stress for the onset of slip scales well with the work of adhesion of the interface, suggesting that slip is the result of adhesive failure at the interface.
