Abstract:The mechanisms behind the polymer glass transition, though not fully elucidated, have garnered significant attention. The Locally Correlated Lattice (LCL) theory [R. P. White, J. E. Lipson, Macromolecules 2016, 49, 3987] provides a novel perspective on free volume and establishes the relationship between polymer glass transition and free volume. In this study, we present a dynamic theoretical model based on the thermodynamic LCL theory, focusing on the kinetic evolution of free volume during polymer glass tran… Show more
