Analysis of the relaxation and retardation spectra obtained from the double-log representation of the viscoelastic functions

Relaxation or retardation distribution functions are sometimes used to determine the molecular models of the polymeric structure of a linear viscoelastic material. These spectra are usually calculated from the double-log representation of any mechanical property, using approximation methods. In this...

description Relaxation or retardation distribution functions are sometimes used to determine the molecular models of the polymeric structure of a linear viscoelastic material. These spectra are usually calculated from the double-log representation of any mechanical property, using approximation methods. In this paper it is shown that the double-log plots distort the viscoelastic behavior, leading to spectra that do not describe the real mechanical response. To solve this problem, a normalized representation of the measurements is proposed and its improvements are discussed in detail. Particularly, the retardation spectrum determined from the normalized dynamic compliance of polyisobutylene is taken as an example, showing some inconsistencies in the model determined from the double-log representation. Finally, even with the normalized representation, the spectra derived from the master curves do not always provide a good fitting of these curves.
