crystal containing the glassy characteristics. Vr defined as the increment to the hypothetical crystal is not as good a factor for o-terphenyl as for the o-TP/TPCM mixture, and the glass transition of o-terphenyl cannot be regarded as a quasi-equilibrium second-order transition of the Ehrenfest type. The Adam-Gibbs parameter is not effective for o-terphenyl. For a summary of the present series,2,3 we may be allowed to state that the thermody-namic factor governing the molecular mobility of molecular liquids including polymer liquids is the configurational internal energy or the configurational entropy.Acknowledgment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
