Abstract The glass transition, Tg, is the most important thermal transition shown by amorphous polymers. As the glass transition is a phenomenon of the non-crystalline state, it follows that it is a less dramatic event in semi-crystalline polymers. Fig. 1 shows how the modulus of an amorphous polymer changes with temperature and also indicates the influences of crystallinity and crosslinking on modulus.
