Four different poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) materials varying in plasticizer content were studied in a combined experimental and analytical investigation including uniaxial compression tests at strain rates ranging from 10(-3) to 10(4) s(-1) at room temperature, and temperatures ranging from -115 to 100 degrees C at a rate of 10(-2) s(-1). Additional tests using a dynamic mechanical and thermal analyser were conducted on each PVC material to give a more detailed analysis of temperature and rate dependence. Adjusting the plasticizer content allows the temperature at which transitions, specifically the alpha-transition, or 'glass transition', and beta-transition, occur to be moved in order to better examine the interplay of temperature and strain rate dependence. This program of research is then extended to time-temperature superposition where a novel application and interpretation of an established superposition method is presented.
