In this article, a secondary relaxation characteristic of ionic aggregates obeys an Arrhenius type of activation, the energy of which is in inverse proportion to the ionic radius of the cation.Abstract:
Ba, Ca, Mg, and Zn short-length carboxylato-telechelic polybutadienes (Mn = 4,600) exhibit thermorheological simplicity. A secondary relaxation characteristic of ionic aggregates obeys an Arrhenius type of activation, the energy of which is in inverse proportion to the ionic radius of the cation, whereas the mean size of the ionic aggregates is proportional to it. The glass transition of the carboxy-telechelic polybutadiene is quite independent of the degree of neutralization and of the subsequent phase separation by the metal cations. The increase in cation size favors the growth of the multiplets into layered structures. Two sets of relaxation times are reported for the smallest alkaline-earth cation (Be). They suggest the existence of small multiplets unable to grow except into clusters.read more

Ionic thermoplastic elastomers: a review
Prince Antony,Sadhan K. De +1 more
TL;DR: The incorporation of small amount of ionic groups into hydrocarbon polymers results in unique physical properties and these polymers are called ionomers as discussed by the authors, and they are effectively crosslinked through the association of ions, forming multiplets or clusters.

Surface analysis of polymers end-capped with metal carboxylates using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
TL;DR: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is an efficient tool to determine how the metal carboxylate groups of halato-telechelic polymers are distributed in moving from the surface to the bulk of the host polymer.
