Response to "Letter to the Editor: 'Melt rupture unleashed by few chain scission events in fully stretched strands'" [J. Rheol. 63, 105 (2018)]
In a recent Letter to the Editor by Wang [J. Rheol. 63, 105-107 (2018)], the entropic fracture hypothesis for cohesive fracture of polymer solutions and melts proposed by Wagner et al. [J. Rheol. 62, 221-233 (2018)] is questioned. We respond to several statements made by Wang. (C) 2019 The Society of Rheology.
