 A polymer which does not possess long range order cannot exist in crystalline stat e

 On heating beyond a certain temperature , segmental mobility comes and it become rubbery

The temperature at which

mobility sets in and the polymer passes from the rubbery state to the liquid sate is called its flow temperature or flow point (Tf)

 A polymer capable of exhibiting long range order, is called crystalline polymer The segments in a

crystalline polymer are firmly led crystallites by intermolecular forces did not exhibit segmental mobility At a sufficiently high temperature ,

molecular mobility most abruptly The temperature at which transition take place called (Tm)

Partially crystalline polymers posses both (Tg) and (Tm)

beyond Tm, amorphous regions and crystalline become one polymer as a liquid state
 Concept of various transition of states associated with low temperature molecular weight compounds and
polymeric materials
