Thermal Properties of Polymers

  • Chapter
Structure—Property Relationships in Polymers

Abstract

Linear amorphous polymers are glasslike at low temperatures and become leathery at temperatures slightly higher than the glass transition temperature (T g ). These leathery polymers become rubbery at slightly higher temperatures, and crystalline polymers melt at the melting point (T m ).
