Heat capacities of poly (a-methylstyrene) and three microphase-separated, high molecular weight block copolymers of a-methylstyrene (MS) and styrene (S) of the type MS-S and MS-S-MS have been measured. Also measured were heat capacities of polystyrene spheres of 85-868-nm diameter (temperature range 310-490 K). The data are compared to newly established heat capacities of polystyreneand poly (a-methylstyrene) from our data bank. The block copolymers have two glass transitions. The MS-block glass transition has its beginning up to 43 K lower than the homopolymer, while the S-block glass transition has its end up to 31 K higher than the homopolymer, but there is little change in the glass transition temperature proper. Polystyrene spheres show also a lowering of the beginning of the glass transition. All effects are related to the specific surface area of the microphases. Hysteresisin heat capacity at the glass transition is diminished in these block copolymers.
