Based on the molecular theory of non-linear viscoelasticity with constrained entanglements in polymer melts, the material functions in simple shear flow were formulated, the theoretical relations between η(),ψ10()and shear rate(),and topologically constrained dimension number n＇and a were derived. Linear viscoelastic parameters (η0 and G0N)and topologically constrained dimension number (n＇,a and )as a function of the primary molecular weight(Mn),molecular weight between entanglements (Mc) and the entanglement sites sequence distribution in polymer chain were determined. A new method for determination of viscoelastic parameters (η0,ψ10,G0N and J0e),topologically constrained dimension number(n＇,a and v)and molecularweight (Mn, Mc and Me) from the shear flow measurements was proposed.It was used to determine those parameters and structures of HDPE, making a good agreement between these values and those obtained by other methods. The agreement affords a quantitative verification for the molecular theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity with constrained entanglement in polymer melts.
