Constrained junction model shear modulus

The shear modulus of the constrained-junction model is obtained in the limit of small deformations as... [Pg.349]

Equation (4.39) shows that for nonzero values of the parameter k the shear modulus of the constrained-junction model is larger than the phantom network shear modulus. For the affine limit, k -t- oo, the shear modulus is... [Pg.179]

Equation [40] shows that the small deformation shear modulus of an affine network increases indefinitely over the phantom network modulus as junction functionality approaches 2. There have been several papers interpreting and improving the constrained-jimction model. ... [Pg.186]
