19	Material functions: predictions of Newtonian model in elongation; predictions of modified Newtonian model; begin Experimental observations, effect of MW on viscosity
20	Experimental Observations: effect of MW and architecture on viscosity
	Spring Break
21	Experimental Observations: SAOS, damping function in large-amplitude step strain
22	Review Experimental observations, introduction to GNF
23	GNF: problem solving: pressure driven flow in a tube with PL GNF
24	GNF: problem solving: drag flow of a PL GNF
25	LVE: GNF doesn't have memory; try simple memory model
26	LVE: Maxwell model; integral Maxwell model; predict step-strain material functions with Maxwell model
