Temperature dependence of the mean relaxation times 〈τ〉 of the non-crosslinked and crosslinked PB samples in their unstretched states where q = 14 nm−1 (magenta squares, red circles) and 29 nm−1 (cyan down-triangles, blue up-triangles). The solid curves represent the results of fitting the data to the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann equation, while the dashed lines represent the results of fitting the data to the Arrhenius equation, in which the activation energy of the JG β-process for the non-crosslinked PB (Ea) is 35 kJ mol−1. |
