Two branched polystyrene melts with narrow molar mass distribution have been synthesized: a multiarm An−C−C−An pom-pom polystyrene and an An−C asymmetric star polystyrene where n is the number of arms. The pom-pom and the asymmetric star have molar masses of Mw = 300 kg/mol and Mw = 275 kg/mol, respectively. The pom-pom was estimated to have 2.5 arms on average, while the estimate is 3.3 for the asymmetric star. The molar mass of each arm is about 27 kg/mol. The melts were characterized in the linear viscoelastic regime and by elongational rheometry in the nonlinear regime. For asymmetric star polystyrene, the measured transient elongational viscosity is not consistent with a rheological constitutive equation that is separable in time and strain. Contrary to this situation, however, for pom-pom polystyrene, the transient elongational viscosity may be described by a time−strain separable constitutive equation for elongation rates larger than the inverse reptation time. Up to a Hencky strains of 2.6, the c...
