The entry capillary flow of four different polylactides (previously characterized by Othman et al. (2012)) has been modeled with both a viscous (Cross) and a viscoelastic (K-BKZ) model. The modeling takes into account slip-at-the-wall, which was found to increase with decrease of molecular weight. T...
