Effect of Microwave Irradiation on the Microinhomogeneity of α-Relaxation Processes in Polyvinyl Alcohol

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

The internal friction spectra λ = f(T) and the temperature dependence ν = f(T) of the frequency of free damping in the temperature range from –150°C to 120°C of microwave-irradiated and nonirradiated samples of polyvinyl alcohol were obtained. A theoretical analysis of nature of the peak located on the ascending branch of the α-peak of relaxation losses on the internal friction spectrum is carried out, and its disappearance after the microwave irradiation is explained. A comparison of changes in the continuous spectrum of relaxation times in the region of glass-transition temperature is performed. It is established that microwave irradiation expands the spectrum of relaxation time, and, consequently, increases the relaxation microinhomogeneity of the α-relaxation process.
