Abstract
The strain dependence of the Johari-Goldstein (JG)-β relaxation time, as well as the directional dependence, was systematically investigated for stretched cross-linked polybutadiene using time-domain interferometry. We found that the strain dependence of the JG-β relaxation time is directionally dependent, contrary to expectation: the relaxation time of the JG-β motion, whose displacement is perpendicular to the stretching direction, decreases with stretching, whereas the relaxation time of the parallel JG-β motion changes little. This result is distinct from the previously reported strain dependence of the α relaxation time, where the relaxation time increases isotropically with stretching. Thus, the difference in the strain dependence of the relaxation time between the α and JG-β processes suggests a microscopic origin and requires the modification of the conventional dynamic picture for stretched polymers.

Abstract
A synchrotron-radiation-based quasi-elastic γ-ray scattering system has been developed that uses time-domain interferometry to observe microscopic polymer dynamics under uniaxial deformation. The stress-producing mechanism of crosslinked polybutadiene has been studied from a microscopic viewpoint. It was found that the mean relaxation time ⟨τ⟩ of the microscopic polymer motion observed over a relatively high temperature (T) range (i.e. T-1 < 0.0045 K-1) increased with elongation on both the intra- and intermolecular scales. Following an extensive strain dependence study, it was found that the strain dependences of both the intra- and intermolecular ⟨τ⟩ changed with the stress dependence. It was therefore suggested that ⟨τ⟩ increased due to the constraint of the local polymer chain motion caused by elongation. The local molecular dynamics of polymer chains under uniaxial deformation could be evaluated at intra- and intermolecular scales separately for the first time using our method.
