The full-chain dynamics and the linear viscoelastic properties of monodisperse, entangled linear and star polymers are simulated consistently via an equilibrium stochastic algorithm, based on a recently proposed full-chain reptation theory 1 that is able to treat self-consistently mechanisms of chai

Dynamic properties in the melt state for two saturated hydrocarbon polymers, poly(ethylene-alt-propylene) (PEP) and head-to-head polypropylene (HHPP), were investigated by viscoelastic and diffusion measurements. Several nearly monodisperse linear samples of each species were used. Zero-shear viscos
The crossover from linear to branched polymer dynamics in highly entangled melts was investigated with a series of asymmetric three-arm stars of poly(ethylene-alt-propylene). Two arms of equal length formed a linear backbone, kept constant through the series, while branches of various length were ap
