Abstract
The physical aging response of polymers is generally examined in isothermal conditions by following the viscoelastic behavior as a function of aging time. It is then often asked if time-aging time superposition applies at a single temperature. If so, it can then be ascertained if time-temperature superposition applies to the aging time reduced curves obtained at different temperatures. In prior work from this laboratory we showed that isothermal time-aging time superposition did not apply to amorphous PEN. In this work we describe the surprising result that samples aged at 100 degrees C and then tested at 30 degrees C, 50 degrees C, 70 degrees C and 90 degrees C, that is iso-structurally (constant fictive temperature) seem to follow time-temperature superposition.
