Abstract

Organic glasses of exceptional thermodynamic and kinetic stability have been prepared for the first time for four substances by vapor deposition in simple sublimation apparatus. This study, together with previous studies, demonstrates the generality of the phenomenon; the simple apparatus makes these interesting materials more accessible for research. Substances forming stable glasses by vapor deposition tend to undergo surface-enhanced crystal growth, suggesting both phenomena could be linked to surface mobility. Stable organic glasses are potentially useful for drug delivery, organic electronics, and thin-film technologies.
