## Abstract **Summary:** We present and assess the use of nonβequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation method for the direct study of the linear viscoelastic behavior of polymer melts. The polymer melt is modeled by a collection of repulsive, anharmonic multibead chains subjected to small a
The equilibrium swelling behavior of end-linked silicone networks has been studied, using low molecular weight silicone oils as diluents. Using the phantom and affine versions of the Flory-Rehner elasticity theory, the predictability of the equilibrium swelling has been examined. It was found that a
A new model for zero-shear viscosity, , is proposed. The model combines the Simha-Somcynsky (SS) statistical thermodynamic theory of liquids with the Eyring Significant Structure (ESS) transport theory. Using the new model, a successful linearization of the experimental viscosity vs. hole fraction d
