24. Note: The polydispersity of the sample, even though nearly monodisperse, has an effect on the detailed line shape of J(t) in the rubber-like-to-fluid region. This effect, as can be easily accounted for by convolution with the Schulz distribution, virtually does not affect the obtained K value. See section 3.4.

33. The uncertainty ±0.4 in temperature is estimated from the standard deviation of K as shown in Table 1 and the temperature dependence of viscosity as given in ref 29; this uncertainty is an overestimate as the standard deviation of K includes the errors in molecular weight of the samples.

35. In the visual superposition to obtain a good fit, both the calculated and measured curves are first displayed in separate figures using the same scales. The figures are stored in a graphic software (CorelDRAW), which allows the superposition to be done under a large magnification on a monitor and at the same time allows the data points being plotted onto the calculated curve. The finished figures can be adjusted to any suitable size. In this procedure, logical steps can be followed to ensure that the comparison between the theory and experiments is accurate.

S of sample A as defined in ref 31 (i.e., equivalent to the temperature dependence of the product of K and s) and that of J(t) in the recoverable region determined by Plazek through data reduction, as shown in Figure 5 of ref 31. The agreement in temperature dependence between the obtained K values and the viscosity results of Plazek is also shown in the same figure. These agreements support the consistency between the composition of the J(t) curves measured at different temperatures as shown in Figure 1 and that shown in Figure 2 of ref 19; the former is guided by the fittings to eqs 1, 4, and 5, while the latter was done through the data reduction by Plazek.

64. g. In the case of sample A, whose molecular weight is not that low, the effect causes at most a shift of 20% along the time coordinate in the fluid region. Besides, the shift is accounted for in determining the K value as shown by the close fitting between the calculated and measured curves. Thus, any error that can arise is really very small.
