The fact indicates that the high molecular weight is responsible for a maximum peak of G″(ω) vs. lnω curves for UHPPH. This makes it possible to determine the plateau modulus(G 0_N) of UHPPH from a certain experimental temperature G″(ω) curve directly. For UHPPH, the G 0_N determined to be 4.28×10 5 and 3.62×10 5 Pa at 180 and 200 ℃, respectively, decreases with the increase of temperature and is independent of the molecular weight, which directly confirms reputation theoretical prediction that the G 0_N has no relation to the molecular weight.展开更多

The plateau modulus and entanglement molecular weight were determined and cross-checked by different methods. Though having distinct difference in chemical structure of repeat units, both APCs and bisphenol-A polycarbonates have the similar entanglement weight and entanglement spacing. On the other side, the plateau modulus decreases with increasing the length of the side group of aliphatic polycarbonates with different side-chain lengths in the literature. The packing length model can explain the relationship between chain structure and entanglements.展开更多
