Abstract
Glass transition measurements on monodispersed polystyrenes of different molecular weight and their binary mixtures result in the following conclusions: (a) the effect of molecular weight on the glass transitions of monodispersed samples satisfies the Fox and Flory equation written as T g = T g∞ - A/M n , with constant A = 0.84 × 10-5; (b) polymers of the same number average molecular weight with a broad distribution show lower glass transitions than the monodispersed; (c) the binary mixtures follow the Gordon-Taylor equation derived for copolymers, with constant k (experimental) 0.5.
