Thermal Properties of Polymers | Melting Point and Glass Transition Temperature
Thermal Properties of Polymers In the amorphous region of the polymer, at lower temperature, the molecules of the polymer are in, say, frozen state, where the molecules can vibrate slightly but are not able to move significantly. This state is referred as the glassy state. In this state, the polymer is brittle, hard and rigid […]
