Translation-Rotation Paradox for Diffusion in Glass-Forming Polymers: The Role of the Temperature Dependence of the Relaxation Time Distribution

by: David B. Hall, Ali Dhinojwala, John M. Torkelson
Physical Review Letters, Vol. 79, No. 1. (7 July 1997), 103.

X Abstract

Comparisons are made of the translational and rotational diffusion of small-molecule probes in a polymer near its glass transition temperature; T g . In the rubbery state; 1.1 T g > T > T g ; translational diffusion is much less temperature dependent than rotational reorientation; in a “quenched” glass; translation and rotation have similar temperature dependencies. This is explained to be a consequence of the fact that in the rubbery state near T g the breadth of the polymer relaxation distribution is strongly temperature dependent; while in the quenched glass it is temperature invariant.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
