Abstract

Vitrification unlike other relaxational transitions has a dual nature. The primary factor is the relaxation process of freezing of the dynamic structure (segmental mobility) but it is accompanied by an appreciable contribution of the freezing of the morphological structure (equilibrium structure of the liquid). Such a dual nature of vitrification found reflexion in the development of two approaches: relaxation and thermodynamic. All relaxational processes below T g occur in conditions of the frozen (morphological) structure. Therefore, the nature of all the low temperature relaxational transitions is purely relaxational.
