The effect of conformational restrictions on the segmental relaxation dynamics of semicrystalline polymers
A statistical mechanical model is used to describe the effect of restrictions, due to confinement by crystals, on the segmental relaxation dyamics of semicrystalline polymers. It is shown that the emergence of a rearrangement free energy barrier is intrinsically associated with the dynamic heterogen...
