โฆ Synopsis
Secondary ~, and fl relaxations in polyethylene have been studied by photoluminescence of molecular probes dispersed in the polymer. The temperature of the 7 relaxation of low density polyethylene has been determined as -130ยฐC by the phosphorescence emission of benzophenone. The temperature of the fl relaxation of the same polymer has been found to be -40ยฐC by the fluorescence emission of anthracene. From the differences in the quenching processes for the phosphorescence and fluorescence of the molecular probes, it should be possible to discuss the mechanisms of both the y and fl relaxations depending on the size of the macromolecular segments involved in each process
