We give in this letter a set of general rules which allow the prediction of the value of the glass transition temperature $T_g$ in network glasses. Starting from the Gibbs-Di Marzio law which gives a very general relationship between this…
In this article, we present a universal relationship between the glass transition temperature $T_g$ and the local glass structure. The derivation of the simplest expression of this relationship and some comparisons with experimental $T_g$…
Latest since the landmark studies of Kovacs and co-workers on the glass transition of polymers, it is clear that thermally induced volume changes are of central importance for the understanding of the nature of the glass transition. Due to…
We give general topological rules which very accurately predict the chemical trends in glass transition temperature $T_g$ variation as a function of cross-linking. In multicomponent glasses, these chemical trends permit to distinguish…
Simple statistical agglomeration models can provide a universal link between the local structure and the glass transition temperature in network glasses. We first stress the physical features of the models and the hypothesis made, and then…
Glass transition temperature ($T_{\text{g}}$) plays an important role in controlling the mechanical and thermal properties of a polymer. Polyimides are an important category of polymers with wide applications because of their superior heat…
The effects of flexibility and chemical composition in the variation of the glass transition temperature are obtained by using the Lindemann criteria, that relates melting temperature with atomic vibrations. Using this criteria and that…
The glass transition temperature $T_g$ and the temperature $T_{\alpha}$ corresponding to the peak in the dielectric loss due to the $\alpha$-process have been simultaneously determined as functions of film thickness $d$ through dielectric…
The glass transition temperature and its connection to statistical properties of confined and free-standing polymer films of varying thickness containing unentangled to highly entangled bead-spring chains are studied by molecular dynamics…
The immense dependence of the glass transition temperature $T_g$ on molecular weight $M$ is one of the most fundamentally and practically important features of polymer glass formation. Here, we report on molecular dynamics simulation of…
We propose and use a novel, hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm that combines configurational bias particle swaps with parallel tempering. We use this new method to simulate a standard model of a glass forming binary mixture above and below the…
Glass-to-glass and liquid-to-liquid phase transitions are observed in bulk and confined water, with or without applied pressure. They result from the competition of two liquid phases separated by an enthalpy difference depending on…
The dependence of the transition temperature $T_g$ in terms of the concentration of magnetic impurities $c$ in spin glasses is explained on the basis of a screened RKKY interaction. The two observed power laws, $T_g ~ c$ at low $c$ and $T_g…
In this study, the effect of alumina and modified alumina nanoparticles in a PMMA/alumina nanocomposite was investigated. To attain this goal, the glass transition behavior of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), PMMA/alumina and…
When the cooling rate $v$ is smaller than a certain material-dependent threshold, the glass transition temperature $T_g$ becomes to a certain degree the "material parameter" being nearly independent on the cooling rate. The common method to…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that the glass transition temperature of thin polymer films can be shifted as compared to the same polymer in the bulk, the amplitude and the sign of this effect depending on the interaction between the…
Experimental studies of the glassy slowdown in molecular liquids indicate that the high-temperature activation energy $E_{\infty}$ of glass-forming liquids is directly related to their glass transition temperature $T_{\text{g}}$. To further…
We report a computer simulation study of the glass transition for water. To mimic the difference between standard and hyperquenched glass, we generate glassy configurations with different cooling rates and calculate the $T$ dependence of…
A universal dynamical crossover temperature, Tcr, in glassy liquids, associated with the {\alpha}-\b{eta} bifurcation temperature, TB, has been observed in dielectric spectroscopy and other experiments. Tcr lies significantly above the…
The Arrhenius crossover temperature, $T_{A}$, corresponds to a thermodynamic state wherein the atomistic dynamics of a liquid becomes heterogeneous and cooperative; and the activation barrier of diffusion dynamics becomes…
