K. Takamizawa et H. Toratani, APPLICATION OF A HIGH-PRESSURE DTA TO STUDY THE PRESSURE-CLASSIFICATION OF POLYSTYRENE, Polymer, 33(6), 1992, pp. 1333-1334
A new method to observe a pressure-glassification of polymers by using
a high pressure d.t.a. is proposed. Pressure scanning, instead of the
usual temperature scanning, gave a d.t.a. curve typical of the glass
transition. The glass transition pressure at a constant temperature fo
r polystyrene was determined and analysed.
