    The document discusses glass transition temperature (Tg), which is an important property of amorphous polymers that refers to the temperature at which a polymer transitions from a brittle glassy state to a pliable rubbery state. It describes how Tg is affected by polymer chain flexibility and rigidity. Differential scanning calorimetry is a main method to test Tg by measuring changes in heat capacity, with Tg appearing as a step in the heat absorption curve. The document provides an example procedure to test the Tg of polyester using DSC, including equipment selection, sample preparation, parameter setting, and analysis of the resulting curve.

    Glass transition temperature test of polyester

    What is glass transition temperature?


    Glass transition temperature (Tg) is an important characteristic parameter of high
    polymers. Glass transition temperature (Tg) refers to the temperature corresponding to the
    transition from glass state to high elastic state.

    Glass transition is an inherent property of amorphous polymer materials and a macroscopic


    manifestation of the transition of polymer motion. It directly affects the performance and
    process performance of materials, so it has been the main content of polymer physics research
    for a long time. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the lowest temperature at which
    molecular chains can move, and its height is directly related to the flexibility of the molecular
    chain. The more flexible the molecular chain is, the lower the glass transition temperature is; the
    higher the rigidity of the molecular chain is, the higher the glass transition temperature is. .

    Test method for glass transition temperature


    Differential scanning calorimetry is one of the main methods to test the glass transition
    temperature, with DSC as the column, when the temperature rises slowly, when the glass
    transition temperature of the dry grouped polymer passes through, the baseline on the DSC
    curve goes to Move in the direction of heat absorption. DSC characterizes the glass transition
    temperature of materials by measuring the change of specific heat capacity of materials with
    temperature. The specific heat capacity will change greatly before and after Tg, and the glass
    transition temperature can be determined according to the curve. The glass transition
    temperature is usually a step in the direction of heat absorption, and the glass transition is a
    region. In this method, the intersection point of the line and the curve with the same distance
    from the two extrapolated baselines is usually used as the glass transition temperature.

    1. Selection of experimental equipment

    The glass transition temperature test experiment is critical to the instrument selection, if the
    accuracy is not up to the requirement. There will be two situations: one is that the region of
    glass transition temperature is not obvious; the other is that there is no region of glass transition
    temperature.
    The glass transition temperature is also a long-term test of the differential scanning
    calorimeter. Differential scanning calorimetry can not only measure glass transition problems,
    but also cold crystallization, phase transition, melting, crystallization, thermal stability,
    uring/crosslinking, oxidation induction period, etc., are all areas of research and development of

    2. Experimental operation steps
    (1) First take out two empty crucibles, put the tray on the left into the empty crucible, and
    put the sample into the crucible on theright (take a piece of the sample and put it into the
    crucible, the sample is fully in contact with the bottom of the crucible, and the powder is the
    best.
    (2) Connect to the computer and call the software to set the parameters. Taking the
    polyester sample as an example, the cut-off temperature is set to 180 degrees Celsius, and the
    heating rate is set to 10 degrees Celsius per minute. Atmosphere selection, choose air or inert
    gas according to sample requirements.
