A b s t ra c t : Th ere are several quan tities in rheo log y which show a scaling behavior.
One well know n example is the t ime- tem perature superposi t ion pr inciple of ma-
ter ia l funct ion s character iz ing the l inear viscoelas tic proper t ies o f po lyme r melts .
We propose a mathe matical sh if t procedure for the calculat ion o f mastercurves
and th e cor respond ing scal ing factors f rom exper imen tal data wh ich show such
a scal ing behavior . In order to demonstra te the applicabi l i ty of the shif t pro-
cedure mastercurves and scal ing factors are determined fo r mater ia l funct ions o f
several polys tyrene melts and for the specif ic viscosity of polyisobuty lene in
cyclohexane.
