Sommario/riassunto

In this work, the studies of the Rouse, Doi-Edwards, and extended reptation theories are developed from a basic level and discussed in detail. Viscoelastic properties of nearly monodisperse linear flexible polymers in both the entanglement and entanglement-free regions are analyzed.
