Why do linear and branched polymers of similar shear viscosity exhibit markedly different extensional viscosity?

In extensional flows of linear and long-chain-branched polyolefin melts with similar shear rheology, the branched polymers are found to exhibit significantly enhanced strain hardening in transient...
