Glass Transition Behavior

Glass Transition Behavior is a thermomechanical phenomenon characterized by the reversible transition of an amorphous thermoplastic polymer from a hard, glassy state to a viscous, rubbery state upon heating, distinguished by a characteristic temperature range known as the glass transition temperature (Tg) where significant changes in physical properties occur without a phase change.
