Abstract

Glass transition temperature Tg has been measured by DSC for several fractions of poly(benzylmethacrylate) (PBzM), poly(2-thienylmethyl methacrylate) (PTiM) and poly(2-selenolylmethyl methacrylate) (PSeM) and for one fraction of poly(2-furfurylmethyl methacrylate) (PFM) and poly(tetrahydrofurfurylmethyl methacrylate) (PHFM). The effect of the nature of the side group on Tg is discussed. Various relationships between number average molecular weight Mn and Tg have been established. Linear relationships between Tg and In P (P = degree of polymerization) have been obtained for some of the systems studied here.
