Abstract
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of poly(phenyl)-, poly(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-, and poly(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)methacrylates, have been measured by DSC. The effect of the nature of the ring substituents on Tg are discussed. Equations for relating glass transition temperatures to average molecular weight (M) are examined. Non-linear dependence between Tg and M-1 is found, but the relationship between Tg and log M (M = molecular weight) shows a linear dependence. The Tg(∞) values for the polymer studied are determined.
