The lack of ultimate scaling relations for previtreous changes of the primary relaxation time
or viscosity in glass-forming systems constitutes the grand fundamental challenge, also …

When the glass transition is considered in an EHL traction analysis, shear-thinning is not
sufficient to explain experiments because there is no liquid behavior to shear-thin and a …

Despite decades of studies on the grand problem of the glass transition the question of well-
defined universal patterns, including the key problem of the previtreous behavior of the …

Lubricants which contain a polymeric thickener will often display a second Newtonian
plateau in measured flow curves. Like other manifestations of shear-dependent viscosity …

One of the major features of glass forming ultraviscous liquids is the decoupling between
translational and orientational dynamics. This paper presents studies of this phenomenon in …

Seventeen years have passed since the first full elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL)
simulation employed the real pressure and shear dependence of viscosity measured in …

Glass transition constitutes one of main problems of condensed matter physics and material
engineering that remains unsolved. The common acceptance of the Vogel-Fulcher …

The report presents the evidence for the hypothetically “universal” previtreous behavior of
the pressure related apparent fragility: m T (P)∞ 1/(P*-P), where P* is the extrapolated …

LiFePO4 is an important base material for generation of new batteries. One of the important
developments is its use in the form of a solid glass, which allows an increase in the electrical …

We present the high pressure dielectric spectroscopy (up to 4.2 GPa) and ultrasonic study
(up to 1.7 GPa) of liquid and glassy propylene carbonate (PC). Both of the methods provide …
