Popis: The super-Arrhenian temperature dependence of the mobility is a key signature of glass-forming polymers, where the mobility can decrease by 10 orders of magnitude or more as the temperature is decreased toward Tg. A fundamental description of the super-Arrhenian behavior has been developed, including the pressure dependence of the mobility. Specifically, the log a mobility is proportional to B/Hc, where B is a material-dependent constant and Hc is the difference between the liquid and glassy enthalpies which are determined from experimentally measured heat capacity data. The 1/Hc mobility model has two material parameters and quantitatively describes the temperature and pressure dependence of the mobility for 12 glass-forming polymers, which are the only polymers where there is sufficient experimental data for analysis. Similar configurational-based B/Uc (internal energy) and 1/TSc (entropy) models were examined. The 1/TSc model, which is the traditional Adam–Gibbs model, can describe the 1 atm data...
