For the first time, we report on using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to directly follow molecular mobility in PMMA and PC deformed by small constant tensile stress (σ) over the temperature interval from Tg – 60 K to Tg + 60 K. At Tα′ > Tg, a pronounced secondary α′-relaxation was observed exhibiting larger frequency shift and stronger σ-dependence compared to the main α-relaxation. After reaching its maximum at approximately the Tg, the strain rate was progressively reduced at the onset of the α′-relaxation, attaining its minimum value at approximately the Tα′. Above the Tα′, the strain rate increased gradually again, suggesting that mobility has again been enhanced. We ascribe the observed variation in mobility to the strain-induced transition of segments from less mobile into more mobile domains, resulting in the alteration of conformational and orientational distribution. The macroscopic deformation (e) dependence of the transient modulus, defined to characterize the system stiffness between the α ...
