Abstract
AbstractMaster curves for polystyrene, poly(methyl acrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate) in stress relaxation are reported. The method used to obtain a wide range in modulus is to combine torsional creep data for high modulus regions with direct stress relaxation data for low moduli. The composite curves obtained are compared with existing literature data. The master curve for polystyrene obtained by a ball indentation method is also reported. Characteristic viscoelastic parameters derived from the data are tabulated.
