Dynamic mechanical measurements are presented for poly(propylene) sulfide (PPS) stars with a range of molar masses. The results are shown to be consistent with theoretical predictions. The effect of end-linking on the viscoelastic relaxation of entangled stars is studied at various connectivity extents. We show that scaling theories are not suited to describe the relaxation of end-linked entangled stars in the frequency range that is experimentally accessible.
