Liquid fragility and the glass transition in water and aqueous solutions

CA Angell - Chemical reviews, 2002 - ACS Publications
In a review of the present title, the first requirement is to ensure that the title words are
understood. While the term “glass” is broadly familiar, and the origin of the “glass transition” …
