2. The onset of the glass transition temperature Tg of the following polymers was measured: • poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (CAS# 9003-63-8) • poly(methacrylic acid) (CAS# 25087-26-7) • poly(n-hexyl methacrylate) (CAS# 25087-17-6) • poly(methyl methacrylate) (CAS# 9011-14-7) • poly(t-butyl methacrylate) (CAS# 25189-00-8) The measured values, in decreasing order, were: 228oC, 115oC, 110oC, 20oC, and -5oC. Assign the correct Tg to each polymer. Draw the structure for each polymer to help explain your answer. Support and explain your answer in your own words
