Abstract

It is shown that the motion of small molecules in the supercooled liquid state may occur at reorientation rates 10 8 to 10 11 sec slower than in normal low viscosity solvents. The detailed dielectric behaviour of anthrone and nitrobenzene in supercooled ortho-terphenyl is described, and interpreted as a cooperative process. The important implications of this work in relation to the behaviour of solid polymers is briefly discussed.
