    The document discusses the Fox equation, which permits calculation of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of random copolymers. The Fox equation is 1/Tgco=Wf1/Tg1+Wf2/Tg2+Wfx/Tgx, where Wf is the weight fraction and Tg is the glass transition temperature. For block copolymers, the individual blocks can still show the Tg of the co-monomers depending on the block size. A table lists common monomers and their Tg in both Celsius and Kelvin.
