Polymerization and Viscosity What will move more easily: a)Shorter chain polymers? b)3D networks? What does that mean w.r.t. rock types?

Viscosity regimes Regimes related to temperature w.r.t. Tg T >> Tg Viscosity very low, follows power law: (T) = o (T-T c ) - ~2, T c = critical T (> Tg) T ~ Tg Intermediate viscosity, follows exponential: (T) = A e exp(B e /(TS conf )) Ae~0.003, S from experiments, B e from fit T << Tg: Very high viscosity: sample turned into glass (Bottinga et al., 1995)
