The viscoelasticity of highpolymeric substance is discussed from the stand point of a molecular theory. The strain of a substance consists of the elongation of polymers and the intermolecular slipping. These two kinds of strain of substance and the elongation of polymer are named the macroscopic elongation and the microscopic elongation respectively. Supporing the rate of the intermolecular slipping obeys the Eyring's formula the relation between the macroscopic elongation-factor λ and the microscopic elongation-factor α is abtained as follow
dλ/dt=dα/dt+Abε(α-1)
Where A. b. and ε are physical constants. Solving the equation above we obtain the following results. First; at the constant strain the retractive force decays exponentially against the time as expected. Second; when the velocity of elongation is constant the retractive foice shows a maximum against the elongation and decays gradually elongation goes on.
