Abstract

A time-integrated entanglement mass in polymer melts was determined from various measurable quantities. Taking the critical mass as a definition of the 'reptational' entanglement mass, it was found that all methods based on time-resolved quantities give the same result. It was observed that such a value differs, beyond error bars, from that obtained from the plateau modulus, which is a time-integrated quantity. The possible reasons for the plateau modulus discrepancy were also discussed.
