Abstract
The scaling law for relaxation times, recently proposed by Casalini and Roland, is utilized in the framework of KAHR (Kovacs, Aklonis, Hutchinson, and Ramos) phenomenological theory. With this approach it is shown that the pressure, volume, and temperature (PVT) data obtained on Poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) can be reliably predicted, in the region of the alpha-relaxation, by using only two fitting parameters, namely: the relaxation time in the reference state, τg, and the fractional exponent, β, that describes the dispersion of the alpha-relaxation.
