| Abstract: | The lowering of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of a polymer produced by the incorporating various concentrations of azo disperse dyes has been investigated, and the effects of the structure and concentrations of the dyes were examined. The Tg values were lowered with increasing dye concentrations in the polymer, and the lowering of Tg produced by the dyes was influenced not only by the molecular structure of the dyes but also the dye-polymer interactions. |
