Polymer Chemistry

Transitions

Transition regions are narrow temperature intervals over which the properties of a polymer change by a large amount³⁵. The most important examples are the glass transition and the crystal melting transition.

Most semicrystalline polymers exhibit their most useful properties between the temperatures of the glass transition, T_g, and the crystal melting point, T_m¹.
