Abstract

Data are presented on the stress relaxation response of a polycarbonate under torsional load. Tests were performed for times long enough to attain the equilibrium viscoelastic response at temperatures from approximately T_g-17 °C to T_g+3 °C where T_g is the nominal glass transition temperature. The equilibration times ranged from less than 30 minutes near to T_g to twelve days at the lowest temperature. Time-temperature superposition was found to be applicable over the entire temperature range investigated. The temperature dependence of the logarithm of the temperature shift factors a_T was found to deviate significantly from that expected from either `universal' WLF behavior or from extrapolation of literature data obtained above T_g for polycarbonate.
