Abstract
Positron lifetime spectra have been measured for network polyethylene oxide (PEO) in the temperature range of 120 - 345K. The glass transition and secondary structural transition have been observed and the transition temperatures were determined. The changes of free-volume in amorphous regions and the defect properties in crystalline are discussed.
