Dynamic-Mechanical and Dielectric Relaxations in Poly(Monoethylphenyl Itaconate)
Dynamic mechanical and dielectric relaxational behavior of poly(monoethylphenyl itaconate) at different frequencies and temperatures was studied. Three relaxation zones are found. The dynamic mechanical response is dominated by a relaxation peak at room temperature, labeled beta relaxation. Two prominent shoulders labelled as gamma and alpha relaxations are observed. Because of the overlapping of the alpha and gamma with the beta relaxation, a deconvolution method to improve the understanding of these phenomena is proposed. In spite of the complexity of the experimental spectra, the proposed deconvolution method seems to be a convenient approach to interpret the relaxational behavior of this polymer.
