Abstract
The variables of casting polystyrene films from methyl ethyl ketone and from benzene are investigated. It is shown that stringent drying is necessary to remove the last traces of solvent. The differences in dry film structure, second‐order transition point, and temperature at which the dynamic modulus suddenly decreases are discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
