a Cole-Cole plot showing the semicircular shape indicating that the material is Maxwellian and dominated by a single relaxation mode. b Determination of the Maxwell relaxation time at each temperature displaying a maximum in loss modulus as predicted by the Maxwell model. c Dimensionless master curve utilizing Maxwell relaxation times for horizontal shifting and empirical shifting along the vertical axis. Solid black and blue lines show the Maxwell model. d Resulting shift factors showing the importance of the vertical shift factor.
