It was found that chalcone chromophores participate in two forms of molecular mobility: cooperative motion in the rubbery state (delta-relaxation) and local motion in the glassy state (beta-relaxation). In addition, alpha-, beta(1)- and gamma-processes, being related to cooperative segmental mobility, to local motion of ester groups adjacent to the backbone and to local motion of terminal side-groups, respectively, were evident. The molecular mobility of the beta(1)-, beta-and gamma-processes changed slightly with the concentration of chromophore groups. For the delta- and alpha-processes, the glass transition temperatures, T(delta) and T(g), increased with the molar fraction of chalcone groups, the difference between them remaining nearly constant (ca 55 degrees C). The Td values obtained should be considered as optimal temperatures for the corona-poling of the chromophore-containing polymers for the preparation of second-order nonlinear optical polymer films with non-centrosymmetric arrangement of chromophore groups.
