Changes in temperature can have an enormous impact on the performance properties of epoxies and other thermosetting polymer systems. Prior to curing, an epoxy consists of a resin and a curing agent.

In a recently published article in the journal Nature Physics, a team of researchers with the participation of the University of Augsburg reports about unexpectedly universal correlations between the ...

The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a ...

In the following, we shall first show the mechanical properties of the Mg-21.3Sc alloy and then reveal their relation with a strain glass transition, which explains why the elastic properties change ...

When a liquid is undercooled, it changes from a stable to a metastable equilibrium state. Its structural dynamics undergo a drastic slowdown over several orders of magnitude. The temperature ...
