14. 9,11,12 there are still some conceptual difficulties with the underlying physics used to describe the relaxation. For example, recent work by Watanabe et al. [Macromolecules 2002, 35, 2339-2357] demonstrated that dielectric relaxation measurements on stars are not described by the physics that are put into the theory, which is also used to describe the comb relaxation. The dielectric relaxation measurements on combs are expected to pose similar problems.

71. Many authors use the factor 4/15 in the approximation of the Doi-Edwards theory with independent alignment (IA). The numerical solution of DE-IA is actually fit with 0.2, and the factor of 4/15 fits the complete model without IA. The authors thank Jorge Ramirez for pointing this out.
