Abstract

Mass transport of a small molecule dye through dynamic polymer networks containing reversibly associating side-groups was directly compared to steady-shear viscosity measurements suggesting that viscous relaxation is limited more by the frequency of dissociation events while mass transport is determined primarily by the degree of association.
