Abstract Dynamic shear measurements in the frequency range from 10–4 to 500rad/s at the flow and main transition of a polydisperse poly(vinyl acetate) and a monodisperse polystyrene sample are presented. For both samples the Vogel temperature of the flow transition T ∞FT is smaller than the Vogel temperature of the main transition T ∞α, independent of the criteria used for data evaluation. The difference between the two Vogel temperatures corresponds to results for samples with other molecular weight and polydispersity from the literature. The T ∞FT 〈T ∞α relation is discussed in terms of short (α) and long (FT) dynamic glass transitions in entangled polymers. The relation is explained by preaveraging of the energy landscape for the long flow transition by the short glass transition.
