Abstract

This personal review focuses on two aspects. First, glass transition dynamics and hence also calorimetry is connected to dynamic heterogeneity. This results in an interplay of the corresponding dynamic length scales and length scales from structural heterogeneities in polymeric samples. Second, the complexity of the dynamic glass transition itself results in different effects of this interplay for different experimental observables. Hence the comparison of results from calorimetry with other relaxation methods gives important clues to an understanding of the complex glass transition phenomenon.
