Glass Transition

Glass Transition is a thermodynamic and kinetic phenomenon denoting the reversible transition in amorphous materials from a hard and relatively brittle state into a viscous or rubbery state as temperature increases, distinguished from crystalline phase transitions by the absence of a latent heat and characterized by a continuous change in physical properties over a temperature range.
