Abstract: | ![]() The molecular relaxation characteristics of rubbery amorphous crosslinked networks based on poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate [PEGDA] and poly(propylene glycol) diacrylate [PPGDA] have been investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Dielectric spectra measured across the sub-glass transition region indicate the emergence of an intermediate “fast” relaxation in the highly crosslinked networks that appears to correspond to a subset of segmental motions that are more local and less cooperative as compared to those associated with the glass transition. This process, which is similar to a distinct sub-Tg relaxation detected in poly(ethylene oxide) [PEO], may be a general feature in systems with a sufficient level of chemical or physical constraint, as it is observed in the crosslinked networks, crystalline PEO, and PEO-based nanocomposites. |
