- Abstract
- Cooperativity in the segmental dynamics of polymers, as enhanced by crystal confinement, shows up even
above the dynamic glass transition. Some related physical aspects are outlined and, on the basis of a statistical
mechanical model, these effects are quantitatively analysed. In this model, which extends aspects
of the Adam-Gibbs theory for glass formers, the frequency width of the conformational relaxation is
intrinsically connected to a finite free energy barrier hindering readjustment. A possible thermodynamic
criterion for crystallization arrest then follows from the analysis of dielectric relaxation data available
in the literature. Low-temperature cold-crystallized poly(ethylene terephthalate) is then considered in
particular; it is found from mechanical and dielectric relaxation analyses that a cooperativity increase
accompanies both recrystallization and cooling towards the glass transition temperature. The application
of the model to the case of poly(dimethyl siloxane) confined in nanoporous glasses is also illustrated as
an example. (literal)
