The glass transition is well known to glass makers or from the common ex perience of drying a used chewing gum. A liquid melt or a rubber becomes a solid glass when its temperature is lowered or a solvent is extracted without crystallization. There are also dynamic effects. The viscosity of a liquid is small at high temperatures but increases dramatically as cooling proceeds down to the glass temperature T • The increase is continuous and amounts g to about fifteen orders of magnitude! The technical importance of the glass transition cannot be overestimated. A few examples will be presented ... Read more

Reviews for The Glass Transition. Relaxation Dynamics in Liquids and Disordered Materials.
From the reviews of the first edition: "A welcome addition to the literature on a subject that is currently attracting a very heavy research interest… the author means the entire process of viscous slowdown and vitrification... he may well be the best-read author in this field. I found information that was new and interesting to me in nearly ... Read more
