Molecular Rheology of Glassy Polymers (FUNDAMENTAL MATERIAL PROPERTIES-Molecular Rheology)

摘要

Molecular origin of the viscoelasticity around the glass transition zone is investigated by means of dynamic birefringence and dynamic viscoelasticity measurements. The present study show that the viscoelasticity around the glass transition zone has two molecular origins: One is the orientation relaxation of main chain axis and the other one is the rotational motion of structure units about the main chain axis.
