Abstract
Two dielectric relaxation processes were found in dilute solutions of methyl methacrylate–methyl acrylate copolymers in benzene by time domain reflectometry. Two kinds of chain bonds along the same chain move independently of each other. This finding offers evidence that the elementary process in polymer chain motion is a simple bond rotation between isomeric transition states.Keywords
