Tóm tắt

Dilatometric and viscometric data on fractionated polystyrenes containing diethylbenzene end groups are presented over wide temperature ranges. The second-order transition temperature, viscosity-temperature coefficient, and specific volume all change rapidly with increasing molecular weight toward asymptotic limits which are practically reached at M≅30,000. Empirical expressions are presented relating these properties to molecular weight and temperature. In each case the dependence on molecular weight is expressed as a simple function of M̄n−1. These observations are interpreted and correlated on the basis of the hypothesis that the local configurational order in a liquid polymer is disturbed by the introduction of end groups to a degree that is proportional to their number. The second-order transition does not represent an isoviscous state. The internal local configurational structure appears to be equivalent, and independent of temperature, in all polystyrenes below their second-order transition temperatures.
