Abstract
The dynamical behavior of sequence defined polymers, P(CnEG4), was studied using dielectric spectroscopy showing one segmental relaxation in addition to a secondary relaxation. In case of segmental relaxation, the relaxation times strongly depend on the molecular weight at low temperatures, while at higher temperatures, unlike to linear homo polymers, this effect levels out. With increasing length of C-units, the segmental relaxation accelerates. This is also reflected in the glass transition temperature, extracted from dielectric spectroscopy. With increasing length of C-units the glass transition temperature decreases, compatible with the accelerated segmental relaxation.
