Structure and Property Relationships for Polymers
The second edition of “Professor’s Corner” included a discussion about the fundamental physical property differences between low molecular mass materials and polymers1. These included differences in flexibility, melting point and glass transition temperature (Tg), as well as the rheological properties of liquids or solutions. In this edition, we will take a closer look at … [Read more...] about Structure and Property Relationships for Polymers
