Some aspects of the thermodynamics of melting and glass transition of polymers

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

Equations are reported for calculating the melting point and glass transition temperature of polymers at high pressure. The average value of the ratio of the glass transition temperature to the melting point is approximately 0.65. With an increase in the pressure, the ratio of the glass transition temperature to the melting point decreases weakly.
