Notes:
τm, defined as the maximum relaxation time, was shown in previous papers to be one of the elements characterizing the “box” type curve in the rubbery region of a linear amorphous polymer, and a new procedure called procedure X was proposed to obtain τm. The relation among τm, weight-average chain length nw, temperature T, and characterized temperature Ti (glass transition temperature Tg, WLF temperature Ts, or Tobolsky's temperature Td) was indicated by an equation, with which constant values of log A depending on the kind of polymer were obtained for several polymers in the regions of M ≫ Mc. For polymers in the vicinity of Mc, another set of constant values of log A′ was obtained. Finally, the effect of τm on temperatures for a polymer was studied.
