Spontaneous Breakup of Extended Monodisperse Polymer Melts
We apply continuum mechanical based, numerical modeling to study the dynamics of extended monodisperse polymer melts during the relaxation. The computations are within the ideas of the microstructural ‘‘interchain pressure’’ theory. The computations show a delayed necking resulting in a rupture, as a result of small initial sample imperfections.
These ruptures agree with experimental observations.
