We present here a systematic investigation on the glass transition temperature (Tg) for a series of highly purified cyclic polystyrene (c-PS) samples with molecular weight (MW) varying from 3300 to 13,400. Compared with their linear counterparts, c-PS samples show much higher Tg and exhibit weak Tg-MW dependence. By blending linear polystyrenes with c-PS, the linear polymer contamination effect on the Tg of c-PS was systematically investigated. It was found that the measured Tg of the mixtures increases with the decrease of linear polymer content and the relationship is consistent with Fox equation. These results are helpful to understand the origin of previously reported different Tg-MW relationship for c-PS.
