Most of the physical properties of the polymer (heat capacity, expansion coefficient, storage modulus, gas permeability, refractive index, etc.) undergo a discontinuous variation at the glass transition. The most frequently used methods to determine Tg are differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). But several other techniques may be also employed, such as the measurement of the complex dielectric permittivity as a function of temperature. The shape of variation of corresponding properties is shown in Fig. 4.1.

The polymer heat capacity data bank is, as outlined in the Introduction, is only the first step towards the establishment of a comprehensive Thermal Properties Data Bank. Presently we are expanding our efforts to include glass transition temperatures, melting temperatures and heats of fusion. In the planning stage are specific volune, compressibility, and thermal conductivity data banks, as well as the expansion to non-equilibrium properties.

The change of the polymer structure is accompanied by the change of their technological properties the tensile strength of the studied films improves by 13%, the surface electrical resistance decreases by a factor of 3.3, and the transmission density of the films increases in the region close to an infrared one, which leads to an increase in the polymer heat capacity. 

Other adiabatic calorimeters used for polymer heat capacity measurements have been described by Popov and Kolesov (1956) Warfield, Petree, and Donovan (1959) Hellw e, Knappe, and Wetzel (1962) Burdzhanadze, Privalov, and Tarvkhelidze (1963) Nolting (1983) Hager (1964) Braun, Hellwege, and Knappe (1967) and Grewer and Wilski (1968).
