45. There is some debate over this interpretation. In some older reports the -120°C phase transition is interpreted as the glass transition.

51. This intensity ratio was chosen since it visualizes the changes of the red part of the spectrum.
52. For LDPE the optimal intensity ratio (1505/1530) was found to be slightly different from the ratio used for i-PP. For i-PP the major changes were in the red part of the spectrum while for LDPE a notable decrease in intensity in the blue part of the spectrum was also found.
