Steady-state shear flow

The stress as defined by Eq. (4.3) corresponds to the stress arising from a shear rate which has been maintained at a constant value Aq for a long time. Thus, from Eq. (4.22) we obtain the steady-state shear stress as 

In the linear region, the viscosity is independent of the rate-of-strain and has a constant value, and is often referred to as the zero-shear-rate viscosity or zero-shear viscosity and denoted by rjo. 

Since the viscosity is the integration of G t) (Eq. (4.30)), the relaxation modulus G t) should contain more detailed information than the single viscosity value r/o. A wrong conclusion can be made if the conclusion is simply based on the viscosity result. On the basis of the viscosity data (Fig. 4.7), the onset of entanglement was traditionally believed to occm at Me 2.4Me. Shown in Chapters 10 and 11, detailed studies of the viscoelastic spectra in terms of the extended reptation theory as well as the Rouse theory have indicated that the onset occurs at Me-
