Abstract: Specific heat Cp, dynamic shear modulus G∗, and dielectric compliance ε∗ are measured in the splitting region a ↔ α + β of poly(n butyl methacrylate). The characteristic length of the glass transition is estimated from the calorimetric data to be about one nanometer before the breakdown of cooperativity between 15 and 21°C. The merging of the dielectric α and β traces is between 70 and 80°C, more than fifty degrees higher.
