Two challenging scientific disciplines, ie, the physics of glasses [Anderson, Science 267,
1615 (1995); Kennedy and Norman, Science 309, 75 (2005)] and interface chemistry …

Conjugated polymers are emerging as promising building blocks for a broad range of
modern applications including skin‐like electronics, wearable optoelectronics, and sensory …

The description of kinetics of physical aging, namely the slow evolution of a glass
thermodynamic state toward equilibrium, generally relies on the exclusive role of the main α …

Understanding how glasses form, the so-called vitrification, remains a major challenge in
materials science. Here, we study vitrification kinetics, in terms of the limiting fictive …

Being composed of alternating soft segments and hard segments, thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) always displays complicated thermal behaviors on the heating scans …

Reducing the sample size can profoundly impact properties of bulk metallic glasses. Here,
we systematically reduce the length scale of Au and Pt-based metallic glasses and study …

Equilibration, the complex set of molecular rearrangements leading to more stable states, is
usually dominated by density fluctuations, occurring through the structural (α-) relaxation …

To evaluate the glass transition of poly (d, l-lactic acid) s (PDLLA), three PDLLA grades of
different molar mass were analyzed by fast scanning calorimetry (FSC), on cooling at rates …

The performance of polymeric semiconductors is profoundly affected by the thermodynamic
state of its crystalline and amorphous fractions and how they affect the optoelectronic …

We employ fast scanning calorimetry to monitor the isothermal aging kinetics in glassy
polymers, complemented with measurements on other glasses. Apart from following the time …
