32. Recently, Neumann et al. (ref 32) referred to the log G′ vs log G″ plot as the Han plot. It was Han who in 1982 first reported that log G′ vs log G″ plots show temperature independence for homopolymers (ref 33). The Han plot has as its basis a molecular viscoelasticity theory for monodisperse homopolymers (ref 34a) and also for polydisperse homopolymers (ref 34b). Since then, the Han plot has very successfully been used to determine the TODT of microphase-separated block copolymer (refs 35, 36). It should be pointed out that the Han plot has no relation whatsoever to the Cole-Cole plot (ref 37), because the Cole-Cole plot uses the rectangular coordinates showing a semicircle with temperature dependence.
