Quantitative aspects of physical ageing in polymers

Physical ageing, which is the spontaneous increase of mechanical relaxation times after quenching from above the glass transition temperature, was the subject of this study. The quench at the beginning of physical ageing serves to 'rejuvenate' the material. This means it reproducibly creat...
