Abstract
The previous chapters of the second part deal with various theories and numerical methods of linear viscoelasticity of polymer system. This chapter is their applications to the characterization of polymer systems such as the interconversion of viscoelastic functions, the rheological characterization of monodisperse polymer melts, the effect of molecular weight distribution on the linear viscoelasticity of polydisperse polymer melts, and the viscoelasticity of polymer solutions and blends.
