Dynamic Mechanical And Dielectric Properties Of Phosphonylated Polypentenamers And Their Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, D. Rahrig, C. Azuma
William MacKnight
Dynamic mechanical and dielectric properties of substituted polypentenamers with phosphonate side groups and their hydrogenated derivatives have been studied. Methyl esters, acids, and salts were investigated at two concentrations, 6.5 and 11.1 mole percent. In the unhydrogenated derivatives, one principal relaxation, labeled fl, is observed mechanically in the temperature range from -160 to 100°C. This {J relaxation arises from micro-Brownian segmental motion accompanying the glass transition. Its temperature is substantially affected by the substituent concentration while its breadth is affected by the chemical nature of the substituent. An extended "rubbery plateau" region exists in the acid and salt derivatives. The …
