The development of new polyolefins based on metallocene technologies represent a
considerable advance in the performance of polyethylenes available for a wide range of …

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 …

The dynamics of entangled flexible polymers is dominated by physics general to many
chemical systems. It is an appealing interdisciplinary field where experimental and …

The following sections are included: Advances in Mathematical Modelling Dynamics of
Dilute Polymer Solutions The Rouse model Dumbbell models Closure Approximations …

The application of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) leads, in the non‐linear regime,
to a torque response that contains higher mechanical harmonic contributions. These …

The Pom–Pom model, recently introduced by McLeish and Larson [J. Rheol. 42, 81–110
(1998)], is a breakthrough in the field of viscoelastic constitutive equations. With this model …

We present a predictive scheme connecting the topological structure of highly branched
entangled polymers, with industrial-level complexity, to the emergent viscoelasticity of the …

Well-defined, monodisperse homopolymer comb architectures with varied number and
length of the branches under linear and nonlinear deformation were synthesized and …

We present a new, free, and open source reptate (rheology of entangled polymers: toolkit for
analysis of theory and experiment) software package for viewing, exchanging, and …

The experimentally determined zero-shear viscosity of entangled branched polymers shows
dramatic variation due to the topological arrangements of the branches in branched polymer …
