Interpretation:
The effect of the polymer chain length on its glass transition temperature is to be explained along with an equation describing this relationship.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers are the large molecules which are made up of many small repeating units bonded together in linear, branched or cross-linked manner.
They are of two types: natural and synthetic. Natural polymers are those which occur naturally, and synthetic polymers are those which are synthesized or man-made.
The temperature below which a linear amorphous polymer becomes hard, brittle and glass-like is known as glass-transition temperature. This transition of a polymer to a glass-like texture happens over a range of temperatures.
