For each of the following pairs of polymers, plot and label schematic stress–strain curves on the same graph [i.e., make separate plots for parts (a) to (c)].

(a) Polyisoprene having a number-average molecular weight of 100,000 g/mol and 10% of available sites crosslinked; polyisoprene having a numberaverage molecular weight of 100,000 g/mol and 20% of available sites crosslinked

(b) Syndiotactic polypropylene having a weightaverage molecular weight of 100,000 g/mol; atactic polypropylene having a weight-average molecular weight of 75,000 g/mol

(c) Branched polyethylene having a numberaverage molecular weight of 90,000 g/mol; heavily crosslinked polyethylene having a number-average molecular weight of 90,000 g/mol
