Dynamics of branched polymers : motion, scattering and rheology

Here, molecular models for the description of the dynamics and flow properties of melts of entangled branched polymers are developed. Their predictions are compared against data from MD simulations, NSE spectroscopy, and rheological measurements. Following an introductory chapter, in chapters 2 and...
