An alternative interpretation of the transient network theory is necessary to explain the evolution of the viscoelastic parameters during the temperature-dependent formation into a solid gel structure.

Large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) experiments were conducted at different temperatures on a molten low-density polyethylene standard, designated IUPAC LDPE X. Jeyaseelan et al. (1993) have successfully employed a simplification of transient network theory to describe the LAOS behavior of this polymer melt, at 150°C. The transient network is described by two kinetic rate constants, one for the formation of entanglements due to Brownian motion (k1), and another for the destruction of entanglements (k2) due to the imposed deformation. Upon comparison of the predictions of this transient network theory with the measured LAOS behavior of this polymer, we find that the kinetic rate constants k1 and k2 are invariant in the range of temperatures examined (150 to 190°C). The temperature dependence of departures from linear viscoelasticity is fully accounted for in the equilibrium entanglement kinetics.
