The ACerS PCSA is sponsoring the webinar, The Glass Transition, presented by Dr. John C. Mauro, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.

DESCRIPTION

The glass transition is known as one of the most fascinating unsolved problems in materials science and condensed matter physics. In addition to its scientific importance, a comprehensive understanding of the glass transition is of critical importance for many high-tech applications of glass, including optical fiber, glass substrates for liquid crystal displays, and chemically strengthened cover glass for electronic devices. In this webinar, I will review the current state-of-the-art understanding of the kinetics and thermodynamics of the glass transition and its impact on technological applications of glass.
