Answer to Question 1

Most large pendent groups will require more thermal energy to achieve long-range chain movements. Therefore, the glass transition temperature would be expected to increase.

Answer to Question 2

Below the glass transition temperature polymers are hard. This occurs because the polymer structure is relatively fixed in space. Energy input at temperatures below the glass transition temperature can generally only result in small vibrations and rotations which do not lend movement to the polymer structure. Above the glass transition temperature much more movement

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
