Schweizer, Kenneth S. Saltzman, Erica J. 2015-09-25T20:53:02Z 2015-09-25T20:53:02Z 10000-01-01 2006 2006 The theory is extended to polymer melts based on a coarse-grained model in which the melt is treated as a liquid of segments. The barrier is predicted to be a function of a single parameter that is chemical structure, temperature and pressure dependent. Qualitative agreement with experiment is found for characteristics of the kinetic glass transition, and the importance of the experimentally observed near-universality of the dynamic crossover time is established.
