Abstract

The inter- and intra-molecular interactions of low molecular weight and polymeric glass-forming model systems are studied by broadband dielectric (BDS) spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy . Analyzing the temperature dependence of specific IR absorption bands, reflecting the intra-molecular potentials of dedicated molecular moieties, enables one to unravel on an intra-molecular scale the process of glass formation and to compare it with the dielectrically determined primarily inter-molecular dynamics. Molecular systems to be studied are typical glass formers as the polyalcohols glycerol , threitol , xylitol , and sorbitol , as salol and three poly(ethylene-glycol) derivatives, namely poly(ethylene-glycol)methyl-ether-acrylate , poly(ethylene-glycol)phenyl-ether-acrylate , and poly(ethylene-glycol)-dibenzoate . Within this experimental framework, a wealth of novel information is obtained proving that the different molecular moieties of a glass former show characteristic features in the course of glassy solidification. This demonstrates the fundamental importance of intra-molecular dynamics for the dynamic glass transition, providing refined insights into the underlying interactions beyond coarse-grained models, approximating, for instance, glass-forming molecules as hard spheres.
