Constitutive modelling of branched polymer melts in non-linear response
This thesis is concerned with modelling long chain branched polymer melts using the McLeish and Larson Pompom constitutive equations. Usually the non-linear terms in this model are fitted to uniaxial extensional data due its sensitivity to levels of branching, but in this thesis I will study a numbe...
