Computational physicists and chemists have shed new light on how the polymer structure bears on the glass-transition temperature in the forming of glass in atactic polystyrene (PS), a commonly ...

All the copolymers presented a statistical distribution with atactic polystyrene sequences and 1,4-trans, 1,4-cis and 1,2 (3,4 in the case of isoprene) diene units.

An international collaboration of computational physicists and chemists have shed new light on how the polymer structure bears on this temperature in the forming of glass in atactic polystyrene ...

As atactic polymer, L-PS displayed one exothermic peak near 150 °C during the first DSC scan, and the enthalpy of the exothermic peak is large. This is perhaps the first report that atactic ...
