A systematic study about the viscoelastic and dielectric relaxations was performed for a family of poli(di-n-alkyl and diisoalkyl itaconates): poly(dimethyl itaconate) (PDMI), poly(diethyl itaconate) (PDEI), poly(di-n-propyl ...

Copolymers containing vinylpyrrolidone and mono and dialkyl itaconate units with different length in the side chains were synthesized and characterized. Copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone with three different compositions of ...

Conformational energies as function of rotational angles over two consecutive skeletal bonds for both meso and racemic diads of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) have been computed. The results of these calculations were used ...

Dynamic mechanical and dielectric behaviour of poly(dibenzyl itaconate), and poly(diethylphenyl itaconate) were studied. The study was performed by determining the components of the complex relaxation modulus E* and the ...

This work deals with the study of the dielectric and mechanical behavior of polymers in which the conformational versatility of the backbone is severely restricted. The mechanical spectrum of the model, poly(dicyclohexylmethylene ...
