On the equivalence between the thermodynamic and dynamic measurements of the glass transition in confined polymers (2015, background): “glass transition in confined polymers, it is worth of remark that models based on percolation arguments [83,84], that is, purely”
Reinforcing efficiency of nanoparticles: A simple comparison for polymer nanocomposites (2008, background): “Indeed, considering the concept of altered dynamics propagating via cooperative rearrangements through adjacent regions [30], the larger continuous surface of a nanoplatelet may give rise to a deeper penetration of the influence of the surface.”
Effects of confinement on material behaviour at the nanometre size scale (2005, methodology): “The various glass transition models, including the configurational entropy [68, 69], the kinetic [70–72] and thermodynamic [405, 406] aspects of the free volume model, the cooperativity length concepts that are related to configurational entropy [158], the more modern consideration of cooperativity ”
Heterogeneous dynamics in liquids: fluctuations in space and time (2002, background): “Recently, Long has proposed a model of heterogeneous dynamics, in which the glass transition is associated with the percolation of slow domains [174].”
