A generalized theory for the glass transition temperature of crosslinked and uncrosslinked polymers
Abstract
A generalized theory for the glass transition temperature of crosslinked and uncrosslinked polymers has been developed, which takes into account the influences of end groups, branching, and crosslinking, and their functionality distribution. DiBenedetto's theory was found to correctly characterize the influence of crosslinks on the glass temperature. Normalized to constant crosslink functionality, the crosslink constant is a universal parameter suggesting that the entropic theory of glasses is applicable to crosslinked systems. Data on linear polymers and networks from the crosslinking of polymer chains, vinyl/divinyl‐copolymers and step‐growth polymers, such as polyurethanes, amine‐cured epoxies, or inorganic glasses, are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
