) : The temperature where a polymer transitions from a hard, brittle "glassy" state to a soft, flexible "rubbery" state.

: The simplest model (like a Random Walk ) assumes monomers have no volume and do not interact except through their immediate neighbors. Polymer Physics

Polymers don't just melt like simple solids; their state depends heavily on temperature and chain mobility. Glass Transition ( Tgcap T sub g ) : The temperature where a polymer transitions
