| The Fox equation permits
the calculation of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of random
copolymers. Block copolymers can depending on the size of the block
continue to show the Tg of the individual co-monomers. |
| 1/Tgco=Wf1/Tg1+Wf2/Tg2+Wfx/Tgx
|
| Tgco= Tg of
copolymer, Wfx=weight fraction of monomer x, Tgx=Tg
of a polymer made from monomer x |
