Transition temperature

Transition temperature

The transition temperature is the polymer freeze temperature. At this temperature, the melt-to-solid transition occurs.

The transition temperature corresponds to the glass-transition temperature (Tg) for amorphous materials and to the crystallisation temperature (Tc) for semi-crystalline polymers.
