SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of microshear banding in polymers, specifically seeking to understand the structural changes that lead to these bands and their implications for the bulk properties of the polymer. The user expresses difficulty in finding a clear explanation despite extensive literature. The referenced Google Books link may provide some insights, but the user requires a more straightforward understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in microshear banding.
