The glass transition is a second order phase transition. For materials that have a glass transition temperature, below it they are hard and brittle and above it they are softer and "rubbery".

What is the glass transition of Teflon?

Teflon does not exhibit a distinct glass transition temperature, as it is a non-crystalline polymer. Instead, it transitions directly from a glassy to a rubbery state as it is heated due to its amorphous structure.


What factors affect the Glass Transition Temperature?

Factors that affect the glass transition temperature of a material include chain flexibility, molecular weight, presence of plasticizers, and degree of cross-linking. The chemical structure and interactions within the material, as well as external factors such as pressure and processing conditions, can also influence the glass transition temperature.
