E-Books →Analytical Molecular Dynamics of Amorphous Condensed Matter Thermal and Non–equilibrium Response Behavior

Though the discussion and examples concentrate on polymer materials, Part II illustrates the potential universality of the proposed most recent treatment - a Cooperative Theory of Materials Dynamics (CTMD) - and its ability to portray the 11 major physical characteristics of the materials' behavior by an alternative view of the thermal equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics at the "micro-scale", the still challenging problem of the glass transition and glass transition temperature, how partial crosslinking or crystallization limits the response, the expected impact of molecular packing, and of a few other open challenges. Part III discusses three specific domains where new applications and extensions of CTMD might be explored, while three Appendixes collect a few quantitative details and extensions of the treatment.
