42. The situation concerning 1,4-polyisoprene is somewhat confused. A detailed analysis in ref 25 clearly demonstrated breakdown of time-temperature superpositioning in the terminal zone for well-entangled three-arm stars. Milner and McLeish, on the other hand, recently published master curves for star-branched polyisoprene [Milner, S. T.; McLeish, T. C. B. Macromolecules 1998, 31, 7479], implying thermorheological simplicity. However, the scatter in their double-logarithmic plots opens to question the quality of the super-positioning. Note, for example, that ostensibly satisfactory master curves can be constructed for the softening dispersion in polyisoprene, even though the behavior in the transition zone is thermorheologically complex [Santangelo, P. G.; Roland, C. M. Macromolecules 1998, 31, 3715].
