21. p agrees within 5% with the experimentally observed value (Ref. 6) without using any free parameters (Table I).
22. For very long annealing times a reduction of the boson peak can be observed in PET (Ref. 23). But this observation can be explained by increasing crystallinity which is a different action mechanism not possible in polybutadiene.
