a
T
for the entire viscoelastic response from soft-
ening to terminal. This is a compromise of two
different temperature dependences of shift fac-
tors for the segmental, a
T ,a
and for the terminal
motion, a
T ,h
, found by Zorn et al. in PVE, similar to
what Plazek and coworkers have seen in PS,
a-PP, PVAc, PMPS and etc. [25–32]. However the
two shift factors obtained by Zorn et al. were de-
termined in two non-overlapping temperature re-
gions (T # 0:2
C for a
T ,a
and T $40:4
C for
a
T ,h
), while Plazek and coworkers, using the
Leaderman’s trick [176] of measuring creep dur-
ing recovery at a lower temperature, managed to
measure both a
T ,a
and a
T ,h
over a common tem-
perature range and found them to be different.
