Williams and Ferryf measured the dynamic compliance of poly(methyl acrylate) at a number of temperatures. Curves measured at various temperatures were shifted to construct a master curve at 25°C, and the following shift factors were obtained ...

Figure 9.17 Plot of log [i ]M versus retention volume for various polymers, showing how different systems are represented by a single calibration curve when data are represented in this manner. The polymers used include linear and branched polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(vinyl chloride), poly(phenyl siloxane), polybutadiene, and branched, block, and graft copolymers of styrene and methyl methacrylate.

In the case of polymer molecules where the dipoles are not directly attached to the main chain, segmental movement of the chain is not essential for dipole polarisation and dipole movement is possible at temperatures below the glass transition temperature. Such materials are less effective as electrical insulators at temperatures in the glassy range. With many of these polymers, e.g., poly(methyl methacrylate), there are two or more maxima in the power factor-temperature curve for a given frequency. The presence of two such maxima is due to the different orientation times of the dipoles with and without associated segmental motion of the main chain.

The group in the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology [55] has fabricated a macroscale device by depositing the conducting polymer (poly(/j-phenylenevinylene)) on the MWCNT film (Fig. 16). They have observed the characteristic rectifying effect from the l-V curve, which suggests the CNTs inject holes efficiently into the polymer layer. However, due to the difficulty in... 

Water-soluble polymers obtained through a radical polymerization [e.g., poly(acrylic acid) PAA] often contain sodium sulfate Na2S04 as a decomposition product of the initiator. The peak of Na2S04 is eluted before the dimer. In the interpretation of the chromatogram, a typical GPC program has to be truncated before the Na2S04 peak, or at a Mpaa value of about 200. The calibration curve in this region can be flattened by an additive small pore column as well, but the principle problem remains unsolved. 

PMMA, on the unmodified porous glass and silica gel, and the universal calibration curves for polystyrenes and poly(methyl methacrylates) did not coincide (10,12,19). 

The phase behavior of several polybibenzoates with oxyalkylene spacers has been reported [11,14,15,20-27]. These spacers include the dimer of trimethylene glycol and different ethylene oxide oligomers. The most noticeable characteristic of these polybibenzoates with ether groups in the spacer is the considerable decrease of the rate of the mesophase-crystal transformation. Thus, Fig. 8 shows the DSC curves corresponding to a sample of poly[oxybis(trimethylene)p,p -bibenzoate], PDTMB, with a structure similar to that of P7MB but with the... 

This potential reflects itself in the titration curves of weak polyacids such as poly(acrylic acid) and poly(methacrylic acid) [32]. Apparent dissociation constants of such polyacids change with the dissociation degree of the polyacid because the work to remove a proton from the acid site into the bulk water phase depends on the surface potential of the polyelectrolyte. 

The time profiles of the absorbance due to MV+ at 600 nm are illustrated in Figures 18. Note that they depend on the MV2+ concentration. The curves for the poly(A/St/Phen)-MV2+ systems are biphasic and can be explained in terms of a simple mechanism illustrated in Scheme 2. Here, D A, A represents a compartmentalized Phen moiety (D) and MV2+ dications (A) bound to the hydrophobic microdomain.

Data of Figs 8-10 give a simple pattern of yield stress being independent of the viscosity of monodisperse polymers, indicating that yield stress is determined only by the structure of a filler. However, it turned out that if we go over from mono- to poly-disperse polymers of one row, yield stress estimated by a flow curve, changes by tens of times [7]. This result is quite unexpected and can be explained only presumably by some qualitative considerations. Since in case of both mono- and polydisperse polymers yield stress is independent of viscosity, probably, the decisive role is played by more fine effects. Here, possibly, the same qualitative differences of relaxation properties of mono- and polydisperse polymers, which are known as regards their viscosity properties [1].
