[HTML][HTML] Universal properties of relaxation and diffusion in complex materials: Originating from fundamental physics with rich applications

KL Ngai - Progress in Materials Science, 2023 - Elsevier
Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

Perspective: Excess-entropy scaling

Hidden scale invariance in condensed matter

JC Dyre - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2014 - ACS Publications
Recent developments show that many liquids and solids have an approximate “hidden”
scale invariance that implies the existence of lines in the thermodynamic phase diagram, so …

Do theories of the glass transition, in which the structural relaxation time does not define the dispersion of the structural relaxation, need revision?

KL Ngai, R Casalini, S Capaccioli… - The Journal of …, 2005 - ACS Publications
Upon decreasing temperature or increasing pressure, a noncrystallizing liquid will vitrify; that
is, the structural relaxation time, τ α, becomes so long that the system cannot attain an …

Segmental dynamics of polyurea: Effect of stoichiometry

D Fragiadakis, R Gamache, RB Bogoslovov… - Polymer, 2010 - Elsevier
We study the effect of variations in the soft/hard segment ratio, achieved through
stoichiometry changes, in elastomeric polyurea. These variations have a marked effect on …
