Abstract

By measuring the complex dielectric susceptibility over 15 decades, we compare the scaling behavior of the α-relaxation for low-molecular-weight glass-forming liquids and polymers. The characteristic differences found for these both classes of substances are discussed in terms of segmental dynamics.
