Polymer Melts

Polymer Melts is a state of matter in polymer physics consisting of molten polymer chains above their glass transition or melting temperature, distinguished from other states by the absence of crystalline order and the presence of entangled, disordered macromolecular chains exhibiting viscoelastic flow.
