Abstract

It is emphasized that considerable advances have been made recently in the development of the molecular theories of nonlinear viscoelasticity of concentrated solutions and melts of linear polymers. The new ideas in this exceptionally important field of the rheology of polymers are analysed. The methods by which the constraints (entanglements) imposed on the motion of macromolecules by the polymer environment are taken into account are also considered in the paper. The most detailed discussion is devoted to the model of topological constraints in the form of a tube and to the self-consistent theory of anisotropic micro-viscoelasticity which takes into account the relaxation nature of the interaction of macromolecules with their surrounding medium as well as the anisotropy of their mobility.
