The available theoretical and empirical treatments concerning the glass transition temperature, T g, of polymer-diluent mixtures do not account for the occurrence of the ‘cusp’in the T g composition dependence or of the two concomitant glass transitions recently reported by these authors. The only treatment predicting a change of curvature in T g vs. concentration, due to Braun and Kovacs, does not describe satisfactorily the behaviour of the seven polymer-diluent systems examined. In order to compare the results with the available literature data, a normalization procedure is developed, whose main effect is to evidence that the T g concentration dependence of all polymer-diluent systems is composed of two branches. It is concluded that in polymer-diluent mixtures still considered homogeneous at a macroscopic level two different mobilization phenomena occur, related to mobilization of ‘hindered diluent’and ‘plasticized polymer’, respectively. The possibility of revealing the two phenomena individually depends strongly on the technique being used as well as on the peculiar physical properties of the binary system being examined.
