its enthalpy recovery and volumetric relaxation below the glass transition temperature, Tg.
Glassy samples are isothermally annealed below Tg using differential scanning calorimetry
and the resulting enthalpy recovery, ΔHr, is measured upon re-heating into the supercooled
liquid region. Volumetric changes below Tg are measured isothermally using Thermo-
Mechanical Analysis. The total changes in the relative free volume, Δνf/νm, between the …
