Science Daily: Estimating the glass transition temperature for polymers in 'confined geometries'
Polystyrene has a glass transition temperature of about 100 C -- at room temperature it behaves like a solid material. But as its temperature approaches the glass transition temperature, polystyrene’s ...
As anyone who extrudes plastic noodles knows, the glass transition temperature of a material is a bit misleading; polymers gradually transition between a glass and a liquid across a range of ...
The Guardian: Molecules getting stuck: the strange case of the glass transition temperature
Gain a better understanding about glass transition temperature (Tg) and why it is one of many factors to consider for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications. In this paper, we ...
The determination of glass transition temperature (Tg) is critical for understanding a material's properties. It indicates the temperature at which a substance transforms from a glassy state to a ...
CompositesWorld: High glass transition temperature, 100% bio-based thermoset resins for space composites
Glass transition temperature (T g) is usually measured in relation to material stiffness, or modulus, and may also be known as the principal relaxation. The glass transition temperature of a thermoset ...
Very high glass transition temperatures (T g) in epoxy resin formulations are enabled by dianhydride curing agents. One question would be how high, particularly when compared with other more ...
Nature: Effect of cladding layer glass transition temperature on thermal resistance of graded-index plastic optical fibers
Effect of cladding layer glass transition temperature on thermal resistance of graded-index plastic optical fibers
While the familiar melting and freezing transitions of water occur at well-defined temperatures, the transitions in polymers are surprisingly different At this time of year it always becomes obvious ...
