Abstract
Complete information is presented for the viscoeleastic behaviour of
n
-propyl benzene, isopropyl benzene,
sec
. -butyl benzene, di(
n
-butyl) phthalate. di(isobutyl) phthalate and di(2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate. These liquids have been measured in the supercooled state using alternating shear stress of frequency
f
( =
ω
/2
π
), from the purely viscous range, through the region of viscoelastic relaxation into the purely elastic range. It has been established that the limiting shear modulus,
G
∞
, of the liquids varies with temperature,
T
, according to the relation 1/
G
∞
= 1/
G
0
+
C
(
T
-
T
0
), where
C
is a constant for a given liquid and
G
0
is the modulus at the temperature
T
0
, at which temperature there is no free volume available for molecular translational motion in the equilibrium liquid (Barlow, Lamb & Matheson 1966). Normalized plots of the resistive component of the shear mechanical impedance versus effective frequency show a wide separation along the frequency axis. However, when this quantity is plotted against (
ωη
/
G
∞
) there is a striking similarity of behaviour, the curves for five of the above liquids being indistinguishable within experimental error. This has led to further measurements being made on a range of other liquids, the results for which are given in the second paper (part II), and finally to a reappraisal of the basis upon which previous analyses of viscoelastic relaxation have been based. A new approach to the interpretation of this behaviour is given in part II.
