Glass transition temperature (T_g) is where amorphous material transitions from glassy (hard, brittle) to rubbery (soft, flexible).
Guia passo a passo
- 1Input polymer or glass composition
- 2Determine T_g from literature or prediction models
- 3Assess material behavior above/below T_g
Exemplos resolvidos
Entrada
Polystyrene: T_g ≈ 100°C (room temp = glassy, hard)
Resultado
Above T_g: rubbery, flexible
Erros comuns a evitar
- ✕Confusing T_g with melting point (T_m)
- ✕Assuming amorphous materials have T_g (some crystalline too)
Perguntas frequentes
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.
