Poly(alkylene oxide)s (PAOs) form a homologous series of type-A polymers with side groups of varying length. Since the PAOs poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) are known for a long time and have been studied extensively, the higher homologues are ideally suited to probe the influence of side chains on the dynamics of a polymer.
We will present the results of dielectric and rheologic measurements on poly(butylene oxide), poly(hexylene oxide) and poly(octylene oxide), having side groups of (CH2)CH3, (CH2)3CH3, and (CH2)5CH3 respectively. The relaxation of the whole polymer chain as well as the segmental dynamics will be discussed in terms of different models and compared to existing results.
