Popis: The influence of experimental uncertainties of calorimetric parameters from heat capacity spectroscopy on the temperature-dependent glass transition cooperativity N α from the fluctuation approach is studied. Glass transition parameters from 3 ω method and temperature modulated DSC are compared. The influence of the stationary temperature field on the output of the 3 ω method is studied. Special advantages and disadvantages of 3 ω method and temperature modulated DSC for the determination of glass transition cooperativity are discussed. It is confirmed that the temperature-dependent cooperativity indicates, independent from experimental uncertainties, a cooperativity onset in the crossover region. The extrapolated onset temperature T on from calorimetry is shown to be comparable with other, independently obtained crossover temperatures for polystyrene and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR 1500).
