Pressure coefficient of the glass transition temperature in the thermodynamic scaling regime

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2012 Oct;86(4 Pt 1):041502. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.86.041502. Epub 2012 Oct 8.

Abstract

We report that the pressure coefficient of the glass transition temperature, dT(g)/dp, which is commonly used to determine the pressure sensitivity of the glass transition temperature T(g), can be predicted in the thermodynamic scaling regime. We show that the equation derived from the isochronal condition combined with the well-known scaling, TV(γ) = const, predicts successfully values of dT(g)/dp for a variety of glass-forming systems, including van der Waals liquids, polymers, and ionic liquids.
