Notonly do hardness and brittleness undergo rapid changes in this temperature region, but other properties, such as
49、 coefficient of thermal expansion andspecific heat capacity, also change rapidly. This phenomenon sometimes is referred to as a second order transition, rubber transition, or rubberytransition. When more than one amorphous transition occurs in a material, the one associated with segmental motions of the backbone molecular chain,or accompanied by the largest change in properties is usually considered to be the glass transition
