Rheological equations of state are of great importance for characterization of polymer melts
and for simulation of polymer processing. This concise review considers tube model based …

Shear rheological data for a wide range of nearly monodisperse linear polyisoprene melts
are reported herein using the results of linear and nonlinear measurements. The number of …

While there has been much success in modeling the linear and nonlinear rheology of
monodisperse entangled linear polymers, progress in the constitutive modeling of polymeric …

This review describes the development and application of the multipass rheometer; a servo
hydraulically driven two piston device that enables rheology and precise processing …

The present work discusses four types of new experiments that can improve the current
theoretical description of nonlinear rheology of entangled polymers. First, a slowly imposed …

Understanding the dynamics of polymeric liquids has great importance in the design and
processing of soft materials. While slow flow dynamics is now resolved, fast flow dynamics is …

The knowledge of chain entanglement is key to our understanding of the relation between
the viscoelastic properties of polymeric material and their microscopic structure and …

The discrete slip-link model (DSM) was developed to describe the dynamics of flexible
polymer melts. The model is able to predict linear viscoelasticity of monodisperse linear …

An experimental study was made of the effects of prior molecular orientation on large tensile
deformations of polystyrene in the glassy state. A new hybrid glass‐melt constitutive model …

In well-entangled living polymers, there is a complex relationship between reversible
polymerization reactions and stress relaxation dynamics. This relationship is already well …
