Notes:
Dielectric local molecular motions in the glass transition region of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) have been investigated by means of the isothermal depolarization currents technique. Attention is paid to the influence of the modification of the polymer by the substitution of chlorine atoms of PVC chain by the benzenethiolate group. The results are well described by stretched exponential laws. According to the Ngai's coupling model, the coupling between moving units as well as the activation energy responsible for the motions occurring at primitive level have been calculated for each sample at each temperature. All these parameters are noticeably altered by the modification of PVC. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
