Simultaneous Determination of Glass Transition Temperatures of Several Polymers.

A simple and easy optical method is proposed for the determination of glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymers.Tg was determined using the technique of microsphere imaging to monitor the variation of the refractive index of polymer microsphere as a function of temperature. It was demonstrated t...
