Abstract

Abstract The low-energy vibrational density of states (VDOS) of hydrogenated or deuterated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) plasticized by dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is determined by inelastic neutron scattering. From experiment, it is equal to the sum of VDOSs of the PMMA and DBP components. However, a partition of the total low-energy VDOS between PMMA and DBP was observed. Contrary to Raman scattering, neutron scattering does not show enhancement of the boson peak due to plasticization.
