Abstract
DMA is a tool for studying linear viscoelastic behavior of polymers over ranges of temperature and frequency. Viscoelasticity has its origin in the complex molecular behavior of the polymer. A theoretical master curve has been constructed, based predominantly on thermodynamic theories of polymer molecular conformations, and their intermolecular cooperativity.
