The Chain Distribution Tensor: Linking Nonlinear Rheology and Chain Anisotropy in Transient Polymers
Transient polymer networks are ubiquitous in natural and engineered materials and contain cross-links that can reversibly break and re-form. The dynamic nature of these bonds allows for interesting mechanical behavior, some of which include nonlinear rheological phenomena such as shear thickening an...
