20. Here, we treat chain entanglement as dynamic structure so that structural failure essentially refers to our perceived rearrangement of chain entanglements.

32. Since chain diffusion in a matrix of arbitrarily high molecular weight may indeed be regarded a single-chain process, it is not surprising that the de Gennes reptation picture provides a rather satisfactory account of the molecular weight scaling behavior of chain diffusion, especially diffusion of a chain in a matrix of sufficiently higher molecular weight matrix. For a review of polymer diffusion, see Wang, S. Q. J Polym Sci Polym Phys 2003, 41, 1589. Deformation, dynamics, and flow of entangled polymers involve collective/cooperative interactions of many chains. At large deformations taking place over a time scale much shorter than the terminal relaxation time, the chain entanglement network could suffer cohesive collapse that would be a truly many-body problem well beyond the reach of a single-chain mean field approach.

34. Shear banding has been known to occur in wormlike micellar solutions. However, such a phenomenon has little bearing on entangled polymers, for example, because micelles could indeed adopt different chain lengths in the different shear bands.

47. Marrucci, G. J Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech 1996, 62, 279. It appears that the CCR concept of Marrucci is important to depict steady shear thinning when homogeneous flow prevails.
48. Evidence to support the suggestion of associating the force maximum with the yielding point is clear from refs. 20 and 43 for both simple shear and uniaxial extension that the applied strain is no longer 100% recoverable whenever a startup deformation has taken the sample past the point of stress overshoot.

51. Archer, L. A.; Chen, Y.-L.; Larson, R. G. J Rheol 1995, 39, 519. Delayed slip was not understood in terms of its physical origin. A manuscript is under preparation to describe the physics behind this counterintuitive phenomenon based on experimental data on polyisoprene melts as well as concepts introduced in ref. 16.

55. Brochard, F; de Gennes, P. G. Langmuir 1992, 8, 3033. Although the actual physics dictating interfacial wall slip of entangled polymers might be different from the picture of Brochard-de Gennes, the reality appears to be that the bulk shear banding occurs because of the internal chain disentanglement that is identical conceptually to the interfacial disentanglement.
