Calculation of the Glass Transition Temperatures of Linear Polymers. Part 3. Evaluation of Calculation Relationships.

Abstract

Four equations, relating the structure of polymers in numerical form to their glass transition temperatures (Tg)s, are evaluating using a large data set of 1179 polymers. Additive temperature parameters, for the relationship giving the best fit to the data, are tabulated which enable predictions to be made of many polymer Tgs outside the data set. These parameters also provide a measure of the relative effectiveness of groups in internally plasticising polymers. Great Britain.
