Problem 2 : Discuss the reasons for the differences inglass transition temperature for the following sets of polymerswith similar chemical structures. Be sure to write down thechemical structure in each case. (a) Poly(ethylene oxide) (232K)and poly(vinyl alcohol) (358K). (b) Poly(ethyl acrylate) (249K) andpoly(methyl methacrylate) (378K). (c) Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(343K) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (323K). Note: You may wishto consult appropriate references to verify the individualstructures.
