| Abstract | The rheological and self-healing behavior of a class of catalytically synthesized amine functionalized polyolefins is investigated. These materials possess tunable rheological properties and display autonomous self-healing. The linear viscoelastic properties are modelled using a tube based Time Marching Algorithm to calculate several model parameters that describe the individual chain dynamics. The self-healing response is described by findings from the reptation model as well as recent theory on associating polymer networks with reversible bonds. |
