Gamma relaxation peak

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004750",
  "term": "Gamma relaxation peak",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A peak observed in the mechanical or dielectric loss curve of a polymer, corresponding to the gamma relaxation process. This peak indicates a maximum in energy dissipation due to localized molecular motions below the glass transition temperature. Its position and intensity are dependent on temperature and frequency.",
  "synonyms": [
