Time-Temperature Superposition

A series of frequency sweeps for a oscillatory deformation is repeated at various temperatures, in such a way (i.e. auto strain adjustments, degradation prevented via N2 blanket etc., overlapping modulus values in each trace) the plots may be used to form a master curve
Elastomers upper end service temperature are limited by thermo-oxidative degradation
State of the art method for long-term predictions of polymer behavior
