PREDICTION OF POLYMER GLASS TRANSITION TEMPERATURES USING A GENERAL QUANTITATIVE STRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP TREATMENT

摘要

A novel approach to the prediction of the physical properties of polymers is presented. A QSPR study, involving the use of a newly developed statistical package, CODESSA, is described for che T-g of a set of 22 low molecular weight polymers which gave a four-parameter equation with R(2) = 0.928. The physical significance of the descriptors selected is discussed. [References: 51]
