Observing the chain stretch transition in a highly entangled polyisoprene melt using transient extensional rheometry
We measure the viscoelastic properties of a highly entangled narrow molecular weight polyisoprene melt with approximately 280 entanglements per chain in steady and transient shear and in elongational flows. The storage and loss moduli of the melt are found to be well described by the Milner and McLe...
