“…Initially, this negative temperature dependence was interpreted in terms of a viscoelastic stress contribution originating from temperature–activated relaxation of the entanglement network through chain slip,34, 39 a view consistent with the observed molecular weight dependence of strain hardening 39. The idea was elegantly put to the test by De Focatiis et al, [40–42 who combined the OGR model with the well‐known RoliePoly conformational melt model43 in an attempt to capture the effect of melt orientation on strain hardening. However, in its current form, the model only captures chain orientation on the entanglement length scale, and it, therefore, underpredicts strain hardening at temperatures well below T g , where it is dominated by sub‐entanglement chain orientation.…”
