โœฆ Synopsis


Pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) studies were performed on a glassforming polymer, poly(carbonate) (PC), under both isobaric and isochoric (constant volume) conditions. An isochoric glass transition was observed and the formation points were found to be consistent with those obtained isobarically. Although the isobaric and isochoric responses were, as expected, the same in the rubbery state, the glassy state values were found to be different and dependent upon the glass formation history. The isobaric data exhibited larger changes in going from the rubber to the glass, hence a ''stronger'' glass transition, than did the isochoric data. Inserting the experimental values for the thermal expansion coefficient a and isothermal compressibility b, into appropriate thermodynamic relations, measures of the strength of each transition are defined. Strength estimates based on literature values of a and b are compared to the experimental measures of the isochoric and isobaric transitions. In addition, both the isobaric and isochoric PVT results were analyzed in terms of the Fox and Flory free volume theory which assumes that the glass transition is an iso-free volume state. While the isobaric results were consistent with the Fox and Flory theory, the isochoric results were not consistent with the idea of an iso-free volume glass transition.

Colloidal particles act in many ways like surfactant molecules, particularly if adsorbed to a fluidโ€“fluid interface. Just as the water or oil-liking tendency of a surfactant is quantified in terms of the hydrophileโ€“lipophile balance (HLB) number, so can that of a spherical particle be described in t

Although reference dependence is robust, support for loss aversion is mixed; some find demand more sensitive to price increases, consistent with loss aversion, others find no difference or greater sen

Atomic nuclei and simple metal clusters exhibit several surprising similarities. Some of the cluster properties are discussed, which have an analogue in nuclear physics, such as magic numbers, single and collective excitations, higher excitations of the Giant Dipole Resonance, etc. As an example of
