THE GLASS STATE AND THE GLASS TRANSITION: THERMODYNAMIC and KINETIC ASPECTS Differential Scanning Calorimetry Differential Thermal Analysis Is the glass transition a true thermodynamic phase transition ? ? Tg depends on the cooling rate ? Tg depends on the thermal history sub-Tg aging and annealing Tanneal .
