Question: The plot below contains the results of modulus - time ( stress relaxation ) experiments on bisphenol A polycarbonate ( PC , Lexan ) .

The plot below contains the results of modulus-time (stress relaxation) experiments on
bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC, Lexan).
For this sample of PC: Mw=40kgmol1,T2=151C,C1=16.14 and C2=56C.
a. Write the WLF equation. Now use it to calculate aT for T=141C,T=151C, and
T=171C.
b. Use the aT value that you calculated for T=141C to complete the data table below.
(Neglect thermal density effects or other vertical shifts): c. Sketch a master curve that includes several (at least 3) of the data sets. Disregard vertical shifts. Be sure to clearly distinguish the different data sets and include values and labels on the axes. Don't worry about plotting each data point perfectly, just illustrate the general trends clearly.
d. Show how you expect the results of your experiment to change if the molecular weight of the polymer is tripled. Draw your hypothesis on the master curve above and label it "3Mwv". Please give me the answers and procedure
The plot below contains the results of modulus -
