From the supplier: The dynamic properties of non-crystalline polymers depend on the temperature below which there is no molecular rotational motion, or the glass transition temperature (Tg). Compared to a crystallizable polymer's crystalline melt temperature, the Tg occurs over a wide temperature range, usually 5 degrees to 20 degrees centigrade, and increases quickly through the entire range. The polymer's state changes from rotating-disordered to rigid-disordered, so there is no loss of entropy. Polymers' mechanical properties are dynamic while going through Tg.
