B. Wang et al., STRUCTURAL TRANSITION OF POLYETHYLENE OXIDE NETWORKS STUDIED BY POSITRON-ANNIHILATION, Journal de physique. IV, 3(C4), 1993, pp. 257-260
Positron lifetime spectra have been measured for network polyethylene
oxide (PEO) in the temperature range of 120 - 345K. The glass transiti
on and secondary structural transition have been observed and the tran
sition temperatures were determined. The changes of free-volume in amo
rphous regions and the defect properties in crystalline are discussed.
