  Abstract

The relaxation time spectrum is a very effective parameter for transforming material functions even with a limited amount of data. The spectrum also helps in understanding the relaxation behavior of polymers at the molecular scale. In this study, a relaxation time spectrum based on Marin-Graessley’s dynamic compliance model was calculated using Fuosso-Kirkwood’s complex analysis. The resulting model could successfully describe the viscoelastic behavior of mono-disperse polystyrene. However, it was clear that a more effective numerical analysis method was needed to obtain more accurate parameter values.
