Moreover, the Young's modulus also increased with pressure and the amount of the increase across the glass transition temperature (T sub g) at a given pressure can be as large as three orders of magnitude in case of elastomers. An extension of Gibbs-Dimarzio theory is proposed to account for the effect of applied stress on the glass transition temperature of glass forming polymers. When a simple stress, such as tensile, compressive or shear stress, is applied to a polymer, the T sub g will decrease, compared to the polymer without applied stress. A glass forming polymer in the vicinity of the transition would behave differently than what than what is predicted by rubber elasticity. The Young's modulus increases with increasing pressure range but the increase is rather small at very high pressure range. 收起
