When the material undergoes a glass transition these losses reach a maximum.
An amorphous solid that goes through a glass transition is called a glass.
The glass transition is not specific to long chain polymers.
All indicate the existence of the phenomenon which we call the glass transition.
Other approaches have chosen to base their description of the glass transition on a thermodynamic analysis.
We must now take a closer look at definitions and measurements regarding the glass transition.
Physically the process of cooling a polymer through its glass transition would then be as follows.
The glass transitions to 90 percent clear as clouds hide the sun.
Therefore, the glass transition is primarily a dynamic phenomenon.
Usually, it is achieved by rapidly cooling a liquid through the glass transition.
