Melting temperature

熔点 (róng diǎn)

Explanation (EN)

The melting temperature (Tm) is the temperature at which a crystalline polymer transitions from a solid to a liquid state. At the melting temperature, the ordered arrangement of polymer chains in the crystalline regions breaks down, and the material becomes a disordered liquid. Melting temperature is an important characteristic of polymers, as it determines their processing and application temperatures.

Explanation (ZH)

熔点 (Tm) 是结晶聚合物从固态转变为液态的温度。在熔点下,结晶区中聚合物链的有序排列被破坏,材料变成无序液体。熔点是聚合物的一个重要特征,因为它决定了它们的加工和应用温度。

About the IPA

The International Phonetic Alphabet is a standardized system of symbols used to represent the sounds of spoken language.

It helps linguists, language learners, and educators accurately describe pronunciation across languages.

Example: the word "hello" in British English is transcribed as /həˈləʊ/ in IPA.
