Networks with comblike

Elasticity and Structure of Cross-linked Polymers2 Networks with Comblike Cross-links... 

Concluding, we can state that the absolute values of the small-strain moduli, which are greater for networks having comblike crosslinks, than for those with tetrafunctional junctions, are understandable, if we assume that the fluctuations of junctions are restricted by the very short chains. The strain dependent measurements do not agree quantitatively with the recent theory, although the trends are in accordance. An exact correspondence... 

Eq. 239 for k=l), one has [G ()] (coxo). This differs from the intermediate region, where one finds a Rouse chain behavior, [G (co)] (Rouse chains [224]. The above comblike structure, which can be thought of as being an example of a polymer network with dangling chains, has a dynamic behavior which qualitatively resembles that of a regular 2-D network built from Rouse chains, see Sect. 5.2.2.
