Macroscopic Modeling of a Single Entanglement at High Deformation Rates of Polymer Melts

We constructed a macroscopic model illustrating behavior of a single entanglement knot of macromolecules in a melt and examined its behavior at different deformation rates. A model consists of flexible elastic strips, which are tied in a granny knot (modeling not a real geometrical form of entanglem...
