文摘The theoretical characterizations on the triangular-form thixotropy-loop tests of an LDPE melt (PE-FSB- 23D022/Q200) were conducted in the present paper by using a new thixotropy model, which is constituted by the upper convected Maxwell model and a rate-type kinetic equation. The new thixotropic Maxwell model can partially describe well three reported thixotropy-loop experiments by comparison with the previous calculations of the variant form of the thixotropy-type Huang model.
