What is the relationship of modulus and temperature?

Click For Summary
The relationship between modulus and temperature varies based on material type. Low molecular weight materials experience a rapid modulus drop with increasing temperature. High molecular weight amorphous materials exhibit a secondary plateau known as the rubbery plateau, followed by a significant modulus decrease as temperature rises further. Semicrystalline polymers behave similarly to high molecular weight amorphous polymers, but their modulus remains higher in the secondary plateau due to crystalline region restrictions. At the melting temperature (Tm), the crystalline regions melt, leading to a drop in modulus within the viscous-flow region.

the reasons:
1. For low molecular weight materials, modulus drops rapidly with increasing temperature.

2. For High molecular weight amorphous materials, modulus drops to a secondary plateau region called the rubbery plateau (polymer entanglement prevents chain slippage). With further increase temperature, the modulus drops rapidly again. This point makes the viscous flow region.

3. For Semicrystalline polymers, the behavior is similar to high-molecular weight amorphous polymers, except that the modulus in the secondary plateau is normally higher because of
the restriction of crystalline regions for movement. At Tm, the crystalline region melts and the modulus drops in the viscous-flow region.
