Abstract
The structural changes of material caused by chemical reaction are reflected in the viscoelastic properties of these substances. Such a viscoelastic property induced by chemical reaction was termed chemorheology. Therefore, chemorheology is a relatively new discipline encompassing the physical and chemical aspects involved in the elucidation of the mechanisms, at a molecular level, of structural changes of polymers during their degradation. The studies presented here are the results stimulated further research in areas where this new determination will be more developed.
