Popis: The temperature dependence of the viscosity of linear polypropylene glycols (PPG) of various mol.wt. was studied in the range from −50 to +50°C, amongst them that of a sample in which the hydroxyl end groups had been substituted by methyl groups. The temperature-viscosity functions of all the samples were found to be described by the Williams-Landell-Ferri empirical formula. The type of dependence in this formula of the parameters on the mol.wt. and the hydroxyl group content of the PPG was well explained by the theories dealing with the relaxation processes as a consideration of the free volume.
