Dynamics of Concentrated Polymer Systems Part 2.-Molecular Motion under Flow BY MASAO Do1 j - AND S . F. EDWARDS* Cavendish Laboratory, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 OHE Received 22nd March, 1978 The primitive chain model presented in Part 1 is extended to the case in which the system is macroscopically deformed. The molecular expression of the stress due to the primitive chain is given, and the stress relaxation after a sudden deformation is calculated as an example. 1. INTRODUCTION In the previous paper (Part l), we described the Brownian motion of the primitive chain in equilib
