Abstract

Films are formed from liquid polymeric material passed through an elongate exit slit of a die and drawn to a solidification region. A condition of flow of liquid through the slit is established to enforce a controlled ratio of extensional strain rate to shear strain rate on the material leaving the slit by providing a predetermined slit profile to maintain that ratio above a minimum throughout the width of the film.
