Abstract

In this paper the enthalpy relaxation of polystyrene (PS) was restudied using a structure-dependent Kohlrausch stretch exponent β with incorporation of a coupling model (CM). The structure dependence of β is described in 3 semi-phenomenological equations. The temperature and structure dependence of the relaxation time of the Johari-Goldstein (JG) relaxation (τ JG) is presented using the traditional Tools-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) and Adam-Gibbs-Vogel (AGV) equations. The fitting results of heat capacity data are much better than the conventional TNM and Adam-Gibbs (AG) models when the structure dependence of β is described using an exponential equation and τ JG is calculated using the AGV equation, although there are one fewer fitting parameters in the new model. The results indicate that both the structure dependence of β and the CM model may play considerable roles in the investigation on the structure relaxation process in polymers around the glass transition.
