An experimental program has been undertaken to determine the point to point response to stress of a high polymer above its crystalline malting point. From these observations, the actual velocity profiles for branched polyethylene melts in a capillary have been obtained.nIt has been found that the true velocity profiles of polymer melts in capillaries are not in general those predicted by the simple theories based on the power law or on linear viscoelastic.
