An Integral Constitutive Equation Based on Molecular Network Theory

Abstract: A new constitutive equation for concentrated polymer solutions and melts is presented that is based on the entanglement theory of Lodge. The strain rate dependence of the memory function is determined using a physical hypothesis of interacting spheres where the spheres represent spheres of influence of the network junctions. The resulting equation has one constant that can be estimated theoretically in addition to the natural relaxation spectrum. At high strain rates, a second empirical constant is introduced … Show more
