Abstract Polybutadienes modified by a small number of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione form thermoreversible networks via hydrogen bonding between the polar stickers. The molecular dynamics of systems with different contents of polar stickers are investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency regime of 10−1–109 Hz. Unmodified polybutadiene shows two relaxation processes, the α-relaxation which is correlated to the dynamic glass transition of the polybutadiene, and a β-relaxation corresponding to a local relaxation of polybutadiene segments. In the polar functionalized systems, besides these two relaxations, an additional relaxation process (called α*) is observed, which occurs at lower frequencies than the α-process. While the β-relaxation remains unaffected by the functionalization the cooperativity of the α-relaxation increases by the formation of reversible junctions and slows down considerably. This indicates a decreased mobility of the polymer matrix. At the same time the dipole moment of relaxing units contributing to the α-relaxation is increased by free phenyl urazole units. The α* is assigned to the local complex dynamics resulting from the dissociation and formation of dimeric contacts. Hence, for this dynamic process, the absolute value of the dipole moment fluctuates with time and causes a dielectric absorption. This interpretation is in agreement with the hindered reptation model of Leibler, Rubinstein and Colby and simultaneous measurements of infrared dichroism and birefringence.
