✦ Synopsis

A series of polydisperse SAN (styrene-co-acrylonitrile) random copolymers was studied by means of oscillatory rheometry in the rubbery plateau zone and in the terminal zone. The plateau modulus, the Newtonian viscosity, and the critical frequencies for the onset of non-Newtonian behavior were extracted from the experimental data. All these viscoelastic quantities consistently indicate that the tail of molecular weights below approximately M e (the entanglement spacing) acts as a solvent for the rest of the polymer with M>M e.

## Abstract A star‐shape styrene–butadiene–styrene triblock copolymer SBS (802) was synthesized and fractionated into four fractions coded as 802‐F1 (four arms), 802‐F2 (two arms), 802‐F3 (one arm), and 802‐F4 by repeating fractional precipitation. Their weight‐average molecular weight (__M__~w~) w
