Solid-state constitutive modelling of glassy polymers: Coupling the Rolie-Poly equations for melts with anisotropic viscoplastic flow

This paper investigates the behaviour of a well-characterised monodisperse grade of entangled atactic polystyrene across a very wide temperature and strain rate range through linear and non-linear melt rheology and solid-state deformation. In an effort to construct a constitutive model for large def...
