Relaxation Behaviors of Polystyrene during Physical Aging

Article Preview

Abstract:

The relaxation behaviors of PS below Tg and its variation trend along with aging time were studied by DSC, fluorescence spectrum and XRD. On the basis of DSC results, the kinetics of the volume and enthalpy relaxation process were analyzed, and the influence of the aging time on the relaxation behaviors were discussed. The results of fluorescence spectrum and XRD indicated the presence of the rearrangement of polymer chains in the physical aging of polystyrene.
