11. Possible link between dynamics and thermodynamics

11.1 Adam-Gibbs equation: entropy model of the glass transition

A link between the dynamic behavior and thermodynamic characteristics of glass-forming liquids emerges from what has been described above.

Strong liquids have an Arrhenian dynamic behavior and exhibit a small value of ΔC _p at T _g .

Brittle liquids have a very super-arrhenic dynamic behavior and generally exhibit a large value of ΔC _p at T _g .

For these fragile compounds, the Kauzmann temperature T _K is usually close to...
