Scaling behavior of the fractional Maxwell model parameters for semidilute entangled polymer solutions and its application for predicting linear viscoelastic properties

We report that the parameters of the fractional Maxwell model (FMM) for semidilute entangled polymer solutions can be superimposed onto master curves by applying the scaling rules of the correlation blob theory. The FMM is parametrized by four terms—the quasimoduli parameters V a...
