The Mobility of Polymer Melts
An empirical equation is presented to describe the mobility of polymer melts as a function of temperature and pressure. This is accomplished in terms of the order parameter in a hole theory and temperature, combined in a Fulcher-Tammann-Hesse type equation. Experimental data for various amorphous polymers are described successfully.
