GLaMM Model

Summary

Full SCCR theory for the Non-linear transient flow of linear entangled polymers.

• Parameters

  • tau_e : Rouse time of one entanglement segment (of length \(M_e\).

  • Ge : Entanglement modulus.

  • Me : Entanglement molecular weight.

  • c_nu : Constraint release parameter.

  • R_S : Retraction rate parameter

This theory is intended for the prediction of non-linear transient flows of linear entangled polymers. The model includes the contribution from contour length fluctuations, reptation, retraction, constraint release and variable number of entanglements. For full details about how the predictions are calculated, refer to [2].
