With guidance by molecular theory, the dependence of viscoelastic properties on these variables can be simplified by introducing additional concepts such as the free volume, the monomeric friction coefficient, and the spacing between entanglement loci, to provide a qualitative understanding and in many cases a quantitative prediction of how to achieve desired physical and chemical properties and ultimate microstructure.

In May 1961, the junta declared " Pledges of the Revolution ": anticommunism was to be the nation's main policy ; friendly relations would be strengthened with allies of the free world, notably the United States ; all corruption and government misdeed would be disposed and " fresh and clean morality " would be introduced ; the reconstruction of a self-reliant economy would be priority ; the nation's ability would be nurtured to fight against communism and achieve reunification ; and that government would be returned to a democratic civilian government within two years.
