Abstract:
The development and use of an interactive computer program for the characterization of complex modulus data is described. The program uses the collocation process which accurately fits the real part of the complex modulus data and then uses the lack of fit of the loss factor to adjust the temperature shift function. This iterative method, which has converged when both the real modulus and the loss factor are fit simultaneously (the real directly and the loss factor indirectly), yields the most accurate estimate of the temperature shift function possible.
