Abstract

Abstract The glass transition temperatures for a series of high-1,4 linear and star-branched polyisoprenes have been measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The Fox-Flory relation for the linear polyisoprenes was found to be Tg=Tg∞−1.76×104Mn−1. The influence of hydroxyl groups on Tg was also examined for low molecular weight (<2.2×104) polyisoprenes.
