Generalized Entropy Theory Investigation of the Relatively High Segmental Fragility of Many Glass-Forming Polymers
Xiaolei Xu, Jack F. Douglas, Wen-Sheng Xu
We utilize the generalized entropy theory (GET) of glass formation to address one of the most singular and least understood properties of polymer glass-forming liquids in compariso…
