How about that: Sometimes my rowlocks could fracture at low temperature, so Murray a South African at my plastics moulders suggested using a copolymer and now they are unbreakable at any temperature. Experts say:"In the case of an amorphous (without structure)polymer the glass transition temperature will define whether a material is glass-like or rubbery. If the polymer crystallises rubbery behaviour is limited .
The ability to crystallise is determined by the regularity of its molecular structure. Regular structures can crystallise. Ethylene-propylene copolymer makes crystallisation a difficult process and a rubbery material results. So no more fractures, wonderful. Can you see now why I love science? Wasn't I lucky to run into Murray.
