64. At 70 °C, the lowest frequency at whichwe were able to obtainG′ and G″ is 0.1 rad/s.However, at this frequency, the systemalready displays terminal behavior. Hence, we can extrapolate the data obtained at ω=0.1 rad/s to obtain G′ and G″ at ω=0.01 rad/s. The 70 °Cdata shown in Figure 3 have been obtained by such an extrapolation.
