The use of Gauss-Hermite quadrature in the determination of the molecular weight distribution of linear polymers by rheometry

The molecular weight distribution (MWD) and its parameters are of the fundamental importance in the characterization of polymers. Therefore, the development of techniques for faster MWD determination is a relevant issue. This paper aims at implementing one of the relaxation models from double reptat...
