Abstract The glass transition temperatures of cyclized and un-cyciized alkyl methacrylate/vinyl chloride copolymers have been measured and found to differ from values predicted using conventional glass transition prediction relationships. An additive relationship was developed that relates the sequence distribution of the copolymer to the polymer glass transition temperature. Using this relationship, good agreement between experimental and sequence distribution predicted glass transitions was found.
