Abstract The influence of temperature, elongation, swelling or dilution ratio, crosslink density, nature of the polymers, and crosslinking agents on the dynamic properties, creep and relaxation of polymer networks is surveyed in the terminal region of the spectrum. Whereas the deformation does not change the relaxation kinetics in large ranges of extension, the crosslink density acts as a reduced variable apparently accelerating uniformly the viscoelastic processes beyond the glass transition. The other possible reductions ‘time-temperature’ and ‘time—swelling’ do not necessarily seem related to the variations of free volume. From the viewpoint of the explanation of the relaxation mechanisms in the terminal zone, the fact that the equilibrium of loosely crosslinked elastomers would only virtually be reached after several years at room temperature seem in better agreement with chain entanglement effects, either trapped or not by the permanent network, than with the dissociation of secondary linkages.

Abstract A series of latex interpenetrating polymer networks (LIPNs) with various cross-linking levels were prepared with polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (SBS) and butyl methacrylate (BMA) by emulsion polymerization. The gel content of the resultant latex particles ranged from 13.2% to 90.8%, with the amount of cross-linking agent increased. The structural, thermal and rheological properties of the latex particles were investigated by laser particle analysis, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and torque rheometry. Furthermore, in order to study the effect of gel content on the flow properties, a model is shown to predict the existence of a flexibility-rigidity transition of SBS/PBMA LIPNs as the amount of cross-linking agent increased. Torque data were interpreted in terms of shear rate, shear stress and viscosity. The relationship between gel content of SBS/PBMA LIPNs and polyvinyl chloride compositions and their effect on plasticization performance were determined, and the predictions of the model have good agreement with their flexibility-rigidity transition.
