Popis: It is shown that there is a critical concentration corresponding to the formation of a compact, fluctuating network, which results in a sharp change in the concentration dependence of the viscosity, first difference of normal stresses and high-elasticity deformations. It is found that at concentrations below the critical concentration high-elasticity deformations do not develop, although normal stresses exist. In consequence, the relationship whereby the modulus of high elasticity is equivalent to the ratio between the square of the viscosity and the coefficient of normal stress is fulfilled only for concentrations higher than the critical.
