## Abstract Constitutive equations are derived for the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of amorphous glassy polymers. The model is based on the theory of cooperative relaxation in a version of the trapping concept. Stressβstrain relations are applied to fit experimental data for polycarbonate in the
In this article, a mathematical model is proposed for predicting solvent self-diffusion coefficients in amorphous glassy polymers based on free volume theory. The basis of this new model involves consideration of the plasticization effects induced by small molecular solvents to correctly estimate th
