Using FTIR spectroscopy we have examined conformational changes in the quenched and slowly cooled amorphous PET films during physical aging process. It was observed that the amount of trans conformers for quenched sample decreased upon sub-T g annealing. For the slowly cooled sample that corresponds

Abstract
Infrared absorbance measurements as a function of temperature down to 13Β°K have been made on poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polystyrene. Transition temperatures are assigned to the temperatures where there are abrupt changes in the absorbance or integrated band intensities. Bands of known structural origin arising from either crystalβline or amorphous phases are studied to probe the structure basis and environment effect for each transition. Transitions are found around 50, 120, 180, and 220Β°K for PET and around 50Β° and 235Β°K for polystyrene.
