Stochastic theory for rate constants of chemical reactions in liquid solution

On the Temperature Dependence of Cooperative Relaxation Properties in Glass-Forming Liquids

A molecular-kinetic theory, which explains the temperature dependence of relaxation behavior in glass-forming liquids in terms of the temperature variation of the size of the co...

Nature of the Glass Transition and the Glassy State

The thermodynamic properties of amorphous phases of linear molecular chains are obtained from statistical mechanics by means of a form of the quasi-lattice theory which allows f...

Chain Stiffness and the Lattice Theory of Polymer Phases

General formulas for the thermodynamic properties of amorphous polymer phases are obtained from statistical mechanics, with the aid of the lattice model, in a manner which avoid...

Glass temperature of copolymers

Abstract According to a recent theory of the glassy state, chain stiffness is the main determinant of the glass transition. In this paper the theory is applied to the problem of...
