Abstract
Starting from an analysis of the rheological behavior of the complex modulus predicted by the Cole-Cole formalism, a generalized Cole-Cole ansatz is suggested in order to overcome the related difficulties. The corresponding rheological constitutive equation with fractional derivatives belonging to the generalized Cole-Cole respondance is stated and the characteristic material functions of the linear viscoelasticity theory (like the dynamic modulus and compliance, the relaxation and ratardation functions, the spectra, etc.) are derived. Model predictions of these functions will be compared with experimental results from dynamical measurements and creep data on different polymer systems which show cooperative phenomena (polymeric glasses and gelling systems). One can see that the modified ansatz fits the data very well, in spite of its relative simplicity.
