“…Consequently, the structure and dynamics of SKEPT macromolecules depend considerably on the structure of the cyclic fragment capable of fulfilling the function of a branching agent (under the fairly severe conditions of preparation of blended composites) and/or of a relatively rigid block influencing the conformational behaviour of the macrochains in the blends. Previously established behaviour patterns of change in the relaxation parameters as a function of the type and number of flexible-chain branches of oligomeric length [7] enable us to assume that the packing of the polymer chains in composites with DCPD, irrespective of scale, is less dense and homogeneous than in systems with ENB. As the molecular weight, MWD, and T 1 [6] of the individual polymers of SKEPT with different blocks C are roughly identical, the observed features of the structural dynamic behaviour of blends can be attributed to the presence in the macromolecules of SKEPT containing ENB of mainly short-chain branches or of side groups symmetrical in shape and size, and also polymer chain conformations similar to them in terms of structural dynamic properties (for example, the internal rotation potential barrier, and so on).…”
