Data on stress relaxation modulus vs. time for polyisobutylene (also known as chewing gum) are
shown in Figure 4. The data span a range of 10-2 to 102 hours in time. Obtain the curve of the time-
shift factor for a reference temperature of 298K. Obtain a master curve for polyisobutylene based
on time-temperature superposition of data.
Note: Shift factor can be calculate by using the Williams-Landel-Ferry expression (Temp. unit is K.)
logaT=-17.5T-Tref52+(T-Tref)
aT= Shift Factor
