The lowering of the glass transition temperature (T g ) of a polymer produced by the incorporating various concentrations of azo disperse dyes has been investigated, and the effects of the structure and concentrations of the dyes were examined. The T g values were lowered with increasing dye concentrations in the polymer, and the lowering of T g produced by the dyes was influenced not only by the molecular structure of the dyes but also the dye‐polymer interactions.
