Testing the Material Time Concept in Nanoconfined Glasses: Equilibration Kinetics of 5PPE in Nanopores

Glassy materials undergo physical aging, changing their physical properties as they approach thermodynamic equilibrium. When confined in nanopores, glass-forming systems exhibit peculiar behavior, including out-of-equilibrium phenomena observed on a molecular time scale much faster than in the bulk. This occurs during...
