Abstract
The nonlinear strain measure of a polyisobutylene (PIB) melt as determined by analysis of uniaxial, planar, ellipsoidal, and equibiaxial extensions is compared to the predictions of the molecular model of Doi and Edwards. It is found that the universal strain function of the Doi-Edwards model is unable to predict the nonlinear behavior of this polymer melt in general extensional flow. The qualitative agreement between predictions and experimental data for the strain dependence of shear stress and first normal stress difference in shear flow that was considered as powerful evidence for the correctness of the Doi-Edwards model seems to be accidental. The exaggerated strain dependence of the model suggests a need to reconsider the assumptions concerning the chain retraction process.
