Extensional stress (${\sigma }_{ex}$), average cluster size ($〈N_c〉$), and rms intra-chain end-to-end distance (${〈R^2〉}^{1/2}$) as a function of Hencky strain ($\epsilon$) for melts with a fixed sticky fraction $f_s=5\%$: (a) ${\sigma }_{ex}$ for $l=40$ and different $Wi$; (b) ${\sigma }_{ex}$ for $Wi=8$ and different $l$; (c) $〈N_c〉$ and ${〈R^2〉}^{1/2}$ for $l=40$ and different $Wi$; (d) $〈N_c〉$ and ${〈R^2〉}^{1/2}$ for $Wi=8$ and different $l$.
