Pendant Group




For example, the Phenyl Group s are the pendant groups on a Polystyrene chain.

Large, bulky pendant groups such as Adamantyl usually raise the Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of a polymer by preventing the chains from sliding past each other easily. Short alkyl pendant groups may lower the Tg by a lubricant effect.
