Abstract With four NBR samples and one EPR, oscillatory measurements and stress-growth measurements were performed, the former being at very small deformation and the latter leading to large deformation. The Rheometrics mechanical spectrometer was used with a cone-plate fixture. The temperature was 100°C. The stress-growth data of NBR's, converted to complex viscosity-frequency data through the application of stress-time correspondence principle, were in good agreement with those observed in the oscillatory measurement. Thus, the stress-growth data including the large deformation were “linearized” to form a master curve. With the EPR sample, such a linearization was not necessary. The stress-growth data were adequately treated with the linear viscoelastic theory up to shear stresses approaching the steady state. The difference in behavior between the NBR's and EPR is caused by differences in type and extent of long branching and gel present in the samples.
