The new face of the activation volume in glass forming systems

Chemical Physics 2018-10-02 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

This report proposes the solution of the long standing problem regarding the key property governing the pressure related dynamics in glass forming and complex systems: the determination of the apparent activation volume Va and its pressure dependence. Results are tested in the previtreous domain, up to P ~ 1.2 GPa, for glass forming diisobutyl phthalate (DIIP, low molecular weight liquid), isoctyloxycyanobiphenyl (8*OCB, liquid crystal), bisphenol A/epichlorohydrin (EPON 828, epoxy resin).
