The phase structure and thermal transition of acrylic fibres have been
investigated at several temperature increments from 22 to 200 degrees
C. Two glass transition temperatures at 82 and 140 degrees C have bee
n identified and corresponded to the structural transitions of the par
acrystalline and amorphous regions, respectively. These experimental o
bservations give strong evidence to support the 'limited two-phase' mo
