Glass transition temperature (T_g) is where amorphous material transitions from glassy (hard, brittle) to rubbery (soft, flexible).

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1Input polymer or glass composition
  2. 2Determine T_g from literature or prediction models
  3. 3Assess material behavior above/below T_g

Exemples résolus

Entrée
Polystyrene: T_g ≈ 100°C (room temp = glassy, hard)
Résultat
Above T_g: rubbery, flexible

Erreurs courantes à éviter

  • Confusing T_g with melting point (T_m)
  • Assuming amorphous materials have T_g (some crystalline too)

Questions fréquentes

Why is T_g important for processing?

Must heat above T_g for molding; must be below T_g for end-use in many applications.
