Activation volume in superpressed glass-formers.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In pressurized glass-forming systems, the apparent (changeable) activation volume Va(P) is the key property governing the previtreous behavior of the structural relaxation time (?) or viscosity (?), following the Super-Barus behavior: [Formula: see text], T?=?const. It is usually assumed that Va(P)?=?V#(P), where [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. This report shows that Va(P)???V#(P) for P???Pg, where Pg denotes the glass pressure, and the magnitude V#(P) is coupled to the pressure steepness index (the apparent fragility). V#(P) and Va(P) coincides only for the basic Barus dynamics, where Va(P)?=?Va?=?const in the given pressure domain, or for P???0. The simple and non-biased way of determining Va(P) and the relation for its parameterization are proposed. The derived relation resembles Murnaghan - O'Connel equation, applied in deep Earth studies. It also offers a possibility of estimating the pressure and volume at the absolute stability limit. The application of the methodology is shown for diisobutyl phthalate (DIIP, low-molecular-weight liquid), isooctyloxycyanobiphenyl (8*OCB, liquid crystal) and bisphenol A/epichlorohydrin (EPON 828, epoxy resin), respectively.
