N2 - The response of many soft materials to external fields is dominated by transient forces, which arise from memory of the configurations the system has undergone in the past. Using large-scale particle-based simulations we show that these transient forces lead to a rich non-equilibrium behavior in networks of soft polymeric particles or polymer-engrafted colloids. We compute the diagram of states for an experimental system of network-forming associative polymers and show viscoelastic instabilities such as shear banding, melt fracture and a shear-induced disorder-order transition.
