Lorentz - 2008 Three time scales cooling: c ~ 10 ps (quenched) << 25000 ps (annealed) deformation: y ~ 1000 ps - relaxation: ~ 50 ps (PS) <<500 ps (PC) (PS) c (quenched) (PC)>> c (quenched) c (annealed) >> , y for both polymers

Lorentz - 2008 Stretching - compression loop: quenched samples mechanical overaging because of the process - faster for PS, slower for PC - effect is larger for PC

26
Lorentz - 2008 Summary, questions T g, overaging and rejuvenation for typical polymer glasses have been simulated; Key factors are ratios between three time scales: - relaxation; - cooling time; - deformation time; Fast relaxation for PS, slow for PC; Thermal and mechanical rejuvenation are microscopically different Direct measurement of segmental mobility under mechanical deformation
