Studies of dielectric relaxation of polydimethyl siloxane have shown that there is anomalous behaviour near its melting point ( ~ -50), probably due to the presence of "'Rotator Phases". A detailed study of polyphenyl methyl siloxane, with various polar and non-polar diluents, has been carried out.
Linear and cyclic PDMS have a common value of Me, the molar mass between entanglements. This phenomenon can be understood by recasting the Graessley-Edwards approach to entanglements in linear polymers in terms of binary interactions. The resulting equations provide a correction to the Graessley-Edw
