3. There is a class of polyesters that have the general structure shown below. . For example, in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) m =1. How would you expect the Tg ad Tm of these polymers to vary with m, given that the molecular weight of the chain is held constant? Give reasons for your answer. Also, assuming that you are now just considering one member of this class of polymers, say PET, how does the Tg vary with molecular weight, n.

11c. Nylon 6 and poly(ε-caprolactone) have similar polymer backbone structure with one carbonyl, 5 methylene and a heteroatom, nitrogen or oxygen, respectively. Each is able to undergo crystallization. However, their thermal transition temperature differs significantly. The glass transition temperature (Tg) for Nylon 6 is 52 °C, whereas the Tg for poly(εcaprolactone) is 112 degree lower than Nylon 6 at – 60 °C. Similarly, the melting temperature (Tm) for Nylon 6 is 223 °C, whereas the Tm for poly(εcaprolactone) is 60 °C. Briefly explain the significant differences in the thermal properties of these two polymers.
