Depolymerization (or reversion) occurs essentially at high temperatures, only in linear polymers having weak monomer-monomer bonds, or in tridimensional polymers having weak cross-link junctions (see Table 12.2). These are linear polymers containing the weakest aliphatic C-C bonds, i.e. involving tetrasubstituted carbon atoms, e.g. polyisobutylene (PIB), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(or-methyl styrene) (PorMS), etc. These are also linear polymers containing heteroatoms, e.g. poly(oxy methylene) (POM), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), etc., but also sulphur vulcanized elastomers. Cross-linking predominates mainly in unsaturated linear polymers, i.e. essentially polybutadiene and its... 

Various workers have discussed aspects other than those mentioned above in studies of the viscoelastic properties of polymers. These include PVOH [62], hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene [63], styrene-butadiene and neoprene-type blends [64], and polyamidoimides [65]. Other aspects of viscoelasticity that have been studied include relaxation phenomena in PP [66] and methylmethacrylate-N-methyl glutarimide copolymers [67], shear flow of high-density polyethylene [68], Tg of PMMA and its copolymers with N-substituted maleimide [69] and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers [70], and creep behaviour of poly(p-phenylene terephthalate) [71] and PE [72]. 

Particular studies of the IR spectra of homopolymers include isotactic poly(l-pentane), poly(4-methyl-l-pentene), and atactic poly(4-methyl-pentene) [16], chlorinated polyethylene (PE) [17], aromatic polymers including styrene, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid [18], polystyrene (PS) [19-21], trans 1,4-polybutadiene [22], polyether-carbonate-silica nanocomposites [23], polyhydroxyalkanoates [24], poly(4-vinyl-n-butyl) [25], polyacetylenes [26], polyester urethanes [27], miscellaneous... 

Among the available scientific literatme on the creep response of PNCs [15-43], the majority of papers are focused on the effect of 1-D layered nanofillers of the creep behavior of polymers such as poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) [15], poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) [18], ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) [17], polypropylene [24], nyloii-66 (PA66) [19], nylou-6 (PAG) [22,23], high density polyethylene (HDPE) [21,38,44], poly(ethylene-co-acryhc acid) copolymer [26], epoxy resin (EP) [28], polystyrene (PS) [29], polymethane (PU) [30], and polystyrene-6/oc/5-polybutadiene-6ZocAvpolystyrene triblock copolymer (SBS) [37]. 

Terpene resins will be effective as solid solvents for an elastomer when their Hildebrand solubility parameters are close to the Hildebrand solubility parameters of the respective polymer. For example, from Table 22.4 it can be seen that pure polyterpene resins are suitable tackifiers for poly(ethylene) (PE), natural rubber, and polybutadiene polymers. Further, terpene phenol resins are suitable tackifiers for poly(vinyl acetate), poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene terephthalate). 

The polymer has a Tg of about —20°C and is a tough material at room temperature. We now compare polyethylene terephthalate with polyethylene. The former has a phenyl group on every repeat unit and, as a result, has stiffer chains (and, hence, higher Tg) compared to polyethylene. 1,4-Polybutadiene has a double bond on the backbone and similarly has a higher Tg.
