The shear modulus and logarithmic decrement of polymethyl methacrylate and polyethyl methacrylate were measured between 4.2 and 100 K. The apparatus used has been described in detail elsewhere.'It consists essentially of a small torsion pendulum suspended on a rigid support at the bottom of a large Dewar vessel. Torsional os-cillations of the pendulum are excited electrically and recorded photographically. The variation with temperature of the shear modulus and logarithmic decrement of polymethyl methacrylate and polyethyl methacrylate is shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. The shear modulus of polymethyl methacrylate was 3.20 X 1O1O dynes cm.-z at 4.2'K. The logarithmic decrement at this temperature was 1.40 X 10-3. The damping decreased slightly to 1.04 x at 26 K. and then increased slowly, reaching a value of 5.87 X The frequency of the pendulum oscillation at 4.2" K. was 7.99 sec.-1. In the case of polyethyl methacrylate, the shear modulus at 4.2" K. was 2.98 X 1Olo dynes cm.-2 and the logarithmic decrement at this temperature was 5.37 X The damping increased rapidly with temperature, reaching a maximum value in this temperature range of 39.7 x 10-3 at 41'K. Above this temperature the logarithmic decrement decreased slowly, reaching a value of 21.4 X 10-3 at 96.4" K. The frequency of the pendulum oscillation at 41 K. was 9.02 sec.-1. The apparatus was not evacuated during these experiments, so the values of the logarithmic decrement given include the damping due to the helium gas and the supports. This damping, which is estimated to be about 0.1 X would be the same for both polymers and would remain essentially constant between 4.2 and 100 K. It would not, therefore, contribute to the observed variation of the logarithmic decrement with temperature. at 98.1" K.
