Property glossary

Full names, units and plain-language definitions for the 5 properties on this page. (These notes also appear when you hover a property pill or a table column header.)

🔥 Thermal degradation Td °C

Thermal degradation temperature — temperature at which the material begins to thermally decompose (onset/peak by TGA).

💪 Tensile strength MPa

Maximum tensile stress a fibre or film withstands before it breaks.

📐 Young's modulus GPa

Young's (elastic) modulus — stiffness; stress ÷ strain in the elastic region.

❄️ Crystallinity index %

Fraction of the material that is crystalline rather than amorphous (from XRD/NMR).

🌡️ Glass transition Tg °C

Glass transition temperature — where the amorphous phase changes from glassy to rubbery.
