Intramolecular transmission of tensile force along a polymer chain can only occur via rotational rearrangements, which is the origin of internal viscosity. This is interpreted as the resistance to the propagation of configurational motionsalong the chain, caused by the rotational barriers around skeletal bonds. The relaxation mechanism occurs via traveling waves damping off as Within the linear force approximation, each normal mode is characterizedby two distinct relaxation times. The larger of them contains an internal viscosity contribution increasing with the normal mode coordinate, in essential agreement with what is currently assumed. A realistic, quadratic intramolecular potential is also incorporated in the theory, proceeding in analogy with the first paper of this series (Allegra, G.; Ganazzoli, F. J. Chem. Phys. 1981, 74, 1310). With a suitable choice of the characteristic time r0 for bond-rotation relaxation, the complex modulus experimentally found for polystyrene is approximately reproduced. The dynamic structure factor departs in general from a single time exponential even more dramatically than in the absence of internalviscosity. Selecting a Q range where the actual stereochemical structure of the polymer comes into play (0.1< Q= 4ir sin (0/2)/< 0.4 Á-1) and ignoring the hydrodynamic interaction effects, we show that the approximate power law t1/2Q'3= constant is verified with d— 3 for coherent scattering and with ß between 2.4 and~ 3 for incoherent scattering, depending on the particular value chosen for r0 (t1/2= half-peak time width). Hence the suggestion proposed in the quoted paper that hydrodynamic interaction need not be invoked toexplain a value of ß close to 3 in this Q range is confirmed. The theory also predicts a Rouse-like spectrum of the relaxation times even in the ideal absence of external friction forces. Furthermore, in agreement with Fixman’s computer simulation results, the incipient rate of chain relaxation is independent of internal viscosity.
