Abstract: The glass transition temperature of regular star-shaped block copolymers of polystyrene and polyisoprene with different arm length and branch degree are measured by linear dilatometer and dynamic Rheovibron Viscoelastometer. The values of TgI and Tg(S) depend on the morphology, branch degree and the arm length of these polymers. The effect of these factors on the glass transition temperature of dispersed phase, Tg(S), is found to be more noteworthy. The intermediate phase relaxation is suggested.
