Summary

The complex shear modulus of a linear polyethylene (Marlex 50), of which samples were either crystallized from the melt at various temperatures or precipitated from a dilute xylene solution, has been measured as a function of temperature at fixed frequencies between 105 and 10−1 c/s. The three relaxation regionsα, Β, γ can be distinguished, and activation energies are determined from the relaxation map. Theγ-process shows a frequency-temperature characteristic which has been divided into three partsγ I,γ II,γ III. Further experimental evidence for the “kink model”, proposed in an earlier paper (reference 4) is taken from the investigation of suitable paraffin mixtures. Measurements on six n-alkane systems, each consisting of an even n-paraffin mixed with a few percent of a paraffin with a chain longer by two C-atoms, are reported.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde die TemperaturabhÄngigkeit des komplexen Schubmoduls eines linearen PolyÄthylens (Marlex 50) bei festen Frequenzen zwischen 10−1 und 105 Hz untersucht, wozu die Proben entweder aus der Schmelze bei verschiedenen Temperaturen kristallisiert oder aus verdünnter Xylollösung bei 80 ‡C gefÄllt, in Methanol ausgewaschen und gepre\t worden waren. Drei Dispersionsgebieteα, Β, γ können unterschieden werden. Die/max-1/T- Charakteristik des γ-Relaxations-prozesses wird in drei Bereicheγ I,γ II,γ III unterteilt. Aktivierungsenergien werden aus geradlinigen Kurvenstücken dieser Charakteristiken bestimmt.

Eine erneute experimentelle Stütze für das in einer früheren Arbeit (4) vorgeschlagene „Kinkenmodell“ stellen Messungen an 6 weiteren n-Paraffin-Mischungssystemen dar, wobei die KettenlÄngen der Mischungspartner sich jeweils um zwei CH2-Gruppen unterscheiden.
