Multiple molecular relaxations of hot‐drawn and quenched polymers above their glass transition temperatures

Abstract: SynopsisThermal shrinkage of highly hot-drawn and quenched poly(methy1 methacrylate) and polycarbonate of bisphenol A were measured. PMMA shows three-step thermal shrinkage under suitable experimental conditions above its glass transition temperature (Tg). Polycarbonate exhibits four kinds of molecular relaxation associated with shrinkage around and above its Tg. The effect of hot-drawing and quenching conditions on shrinking behavior is discussed. Almost all of the molecular relaxations are observed above Tg.… Show more

“…Both plots gave straight lines and the apparent activation energies of the molecular process accompanied with the thermal shrinkage around Tg of this polymer were estimated as 520 kJ/mol from the slope of the straight line (a) and as 500 kJ/mol from that of the straight line (b). These values correspond well to the reported one of this polymer, 480 • 20 kJ/mol by Krum and Muller [13] and 430-460 kJ/mol by Matz et al [15,16]. Fig.…”

“…But almost all of strain seems to be recovered by thermal treatment up to above the glass transition temperature. the authors (TK) [13]. The instrument was equipped with a programmed temperature controller so that the sample temperature could be varied linearly with time at several heating rates.…”

“…Previous studies on thermomechanical analysis (TMA) of oriented polymers generally have fallen into two categories: measurement of retractive force [12][13][14] and measurement of dimensional change. [15][16][17] Both methods have been applied to rigid PVC, 12,15 showing that significant changes in the oriented samples only occurred as the glass-transition temperature (T g ) of the material under test was approached. For example, a biaxially oriented sheet of rigid PVC with a T g of 74°C began to shrink at 64°C.…”
