Introduction
Glass transition is the transformation of a solid or liquid polymer into a vitreous state. This state
is characterized by a modification of the polymer physical properties such as viscosity, thermal
expansion or heat capacity. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is easily determined by DSC.
The ISO1135762 standard describes the experimental Tg determination for polymers

Results
The glass transition temperature corresponds to a shift of the base line which is
proportional to the heat capacity variation (Cp). The temperature and the shift depends
on the type of polymer.
In this stydy, PES has the highest Tg (226C) and PV C has the lowest (88C).
