This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Thermal transitions in amorphous and semicrystalline polymers.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Summary
DescriptionThermal transitions in amorphous and semicrystalline polymers.tif
English: Thermal transitions in (A) amorphous and (B) semicrystalline polymers, represented as traces from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Heat flow (exotherm down) is on the y-axis, and temperature is on the x-axis. As the temperature increases, both amorphous and semicrystalline polymers go through the glass transition (Tg). As the temperature continues to increase, amorphous polymers (A) experience increasingly rapid molecular motions but do not exhibit other phase transitions. However, semicrystalline polymers (B) undergo crystallization and melting transitions (at temperatures Tc and Tm, respectively).
