Comparative Analysis of Different Tube Models for Linear Rheology of Monodisperse Linear Entangled Polymers

The aim of the present paper is to analyse the differences between tube-based models which are widely used for predicting the linear viscoelasticity of monodisperse linear polymers, in comparison to a large set of experimental data. The following models are examined: Milner−McLeish, Likhtm...
