Abstract
Entanglements are modelled by links which make a sliding contact between polymer networks. A formal solution to this problem is given using the replica formalism and the contribution of an entanglement to the free energy of shear is given by:
where λi are the Cartesian extension ratios and η is a measure of the freedom of a link to slide compared with the freedom of movement of a chain. The expression quoted gives correct limits in the (trivial) case of η zero, and η infinity, when it is merely a negative contribution to the osmotic pressure of the network.
