The Viscoelastic Properties of Polystyrene Solutions
J. Lamb,A. J. Matheson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the results of Harrison, Lamb and Matheson (1964) for dilute solutions in toluene of a number of polystyrene samples of different molecular weights and found that 25 % of the contribution of the polymer to the viscosity of the solution is not able to take part in viscoelastic relaxation.

Cubic Lattice Model Chain
W. R. Krigbaum,M. Kaneko +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the partition functions for conditions of constant force Zf or fixed displacement length Zr are derived for the three-dimensional cubic lattice model chain having two possible positions of different energy for each link.

Mechanical and optical anisotropy in polypropylene fibres
P R Pinnock,I M Ward +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of polypropylene fibres was made by drawing an isotropic spun fibre over as wide a range of draw ratios as possible and the extensional modulus, torsional modulus and optical birefringence were measured at each draw ratio.

The Elasticity of Rubber
Kurt H. Meyer,Cesare Ferri +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is assumed that there are forces of attraction between the different parts of a single molecule, for example, between the double bonds, and upon stretching, these forces are overcome.
