Abstract
The linear viscoelastic properties of poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) melts having different molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions were studied. Some linear viscoelasticity parameters, including the plateau modulus and zero shear viscosity of PPC, were evaluated. The entanglement molecular weight of PPC was estimated to be 5.9 kg/ mol, which is considerably lower than that previously reported for PPC with a broad molecular weight distribution.
期刊介绍:
For the communication among the members, the journal of the Society of Rheology Japan, NIHON REOROJI GAKKAISHI (5 issues per year), was established in 1973 and it is the oldest journal on rheology in Asia. The journal contains original and review articles on rheology and related topics, information for all SRJ events, and reports of domestic/overseas meetings. Articles in Japanese as well as in English are considered for publication, not only from the members but also from the researchers outside. Papers from new emerging areas of the field are particularly welcome. The electronic version of the articles is available via the internet with an open access policy.
