Abstract
Cooling a polymer glass through the glass transition temperature and then holding the material temporarily at an aging temperature produces a localized relaxation peak on its dynamic mechanical spectra. Clear evidence is provided that the aging-induced structural relaxation is frequency-temperature insensitive. The aging-associated retardation time, if there is any, should therefore not relate to an activation process over temperature barriers or originate from a manipulation of the retardation spectra of the glass and the β-transition.
