Notes:
Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10-2 Hz to 106 Hz and electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments are employed to study the dynamics in chemically and physically crosslinked networks. As examples for physically crosslinked networks ortho- and para-cresol novolacs were investigated. Dielectrically these materials show low-temperature β- and high-temperature α-relaxation. Both relaxation regions differ for both types of novolacs. This is also reflected by the ESR measurements and is discussed in terms of different hydrogen bonds found to be stronger in para-cresol novolac. For the chemically crosslinked poly(triallyl isocyanurate) only a β-peak is found by the dielectric measurements. Also in the ESR experiment the slow motion regime is characterized up to high temperatures. This means that the segmental motion is strongly suppressed by chemical crosslinking. Nevertheless the obtained change in the formal T50G value can be used to characterize the glass transition in highly crosslinked systems by the ESR method.
