Notes:
The extrusion of blown film polyethylene is a complex process characterized by a large number of interdependent process variables. In order to derive the set of process conditions necessary for a desired film solid state property, the processor normally utilizes a laborious trial-and-error method. In this work, a technique is described to establish more directly the set of extruder settings for producing film with an optimum value of a given property. Biaxial toughness was optimized in the present work, but the technique is applicable to any quantifiable film property.
