Strong and Fragile Liquids and Plastic Crystals, and the Glass Transition

安琪：对玻璃和非晶态液体的研究主要集中在五个方面：多晶态转变和与生物聚合物的可能联系；微乳液体系的研究，重点是玻璃状微乳液热力学性质中Vogel-Fucher偏差的研究；可能表现出两态复杂性的分子的研究；通过电化学方法和晶体脱溶来实现晶体相的不稳定。固体的非晶态是许多先进材料技术领域的核心，包括聚合物、陶瓷、金属和制药等领域。诸如此类的研究旨在在分子水平上描述非晶态的性质以及它是如何制备和稳定的，这可能会为合成具有独特性能的新材料开辟新的途径。＊＊＊

9614531 Angell This focus of this investigation of glasses and amorphous liquids is on five broad areas: polyamorphic transitions and possible connections with biopolymers; studies of microemulsion systems with an emphasis on glass-forming microemulsions; studies of Vogel-Fucher deviations in thermodynamic properties; studies of molecules which may exhibit two-state complexity; and destablization of the crystal phase by electrochemical methods, and by crystal desolvation. %%% The amorphous state of solids is central to many areas of advanced materials technologies involving areas such as polymers, ceramics, metals and pharmaceuticals. Research investigations such as this aimed at describing at the molecular level the nature of the amorphous state and how it is prepared and stabilized will lead possibly to new routes for synthesizing new materials with unique properties. ***
