Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.20YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine why poly(acrylic acid) has a higher Tg than poly(vinyl chloride).
Concept introduction:
Polar molecules can participate in dipole–dipole interactions, so they generally have higher melting points than nonpolar molecules with similar molar masses. Similarly, poly(vinyl chloride), a polar polymer, has a significantly higher Tg than polypropylene, a nonpolar polymer, even though both
