Abstract
Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) technique is a relaxation technique, such as DMA, but works at very low equivalent frequency (10−3–10−4Hz) and thus clearly resolves the peaks related to the molecular mobility. The effect of orientation on Polypropylene fibers, the relaxation of internal stresses on Polycarbonate disks, and the effect of aging on acrylic airplane windows have been investigated using the TSC method.
