    Annotation Viscoelastic response in terms of the complex shear modulus G*(ω) of the linear polymers poly(ethylene-alt-propylene), poly(isoprene), and poly(butadiene) is studied for molar masses (M) from 3k up to 1000k and over a wide temperature range starting from the glass transition temperature Tg (174 K–373 K). Master curves G'(ωτα) and G«(ωτα) are constructed for the polymer-specific relaxation. Segmental relaxation occurring close to Tg is independently addressed by single spectra. Altogether, viscoelastic response is effectively studied over 14 decades in frequency. The structural relaxation time τα used for scaling is taken from dielectric spectra. We suggest a derivative method for identifying the different power-law regimes and their exponents along G«(ωτα) ∝ ωε«. The exponent ε« = ε«(ωτα) ≡ d ln G«(ωτα)/d ln(ωτα) reveals more details compared to conventional analyses and displays high similarity among the polymers. Within a simple scaling model, the original tube-reptation model is
