Abstract

Glass formation from the melt of organic monomers was studied for a variety of different organic molecular structures with Tg near ambient temperature. Crystallization is suppressed by one or more of the molecular properties, hydrogen bonding, interlocking, dipolar, and hydrogen bonding, combined with hindered rotational isomerism. Examples of materials in each category are presented for illustration. The viscosity of undercooled liquids was characterized by the Vogel-Tammon-Fulcher (VTF) equation, η = A cxp[DT0/(T - T0)], where A, D, and T0 are experimentally determined parameters. Our experimental D values are discussed in relation to the molecular structure and glass formation mechanism. The insight provided by our interpretation is intended to assist in the design of new molecular structures with controlled viscosity-temperature characteristics, as well as glass-forming ability by cooling from melts.
