The physics of glassy polymers has made enormous progress over the past 25 years. These advances have been made possible by the development of new experiments involving the dynamics of confined polymers, the dynamics of fluorescent probes, in situ dielectric spectroscopy or NMR spectroscopy, or calorimetric experiments. New techniques combining atomic force microscopy and dielectric or Raman spectroscopy are being developed to study the properties of polymers at the local scale. Studies on ultimate properties and the corresponding microscopic mechanisms have benefited from advances in electron microscopy, small-angle scattering techniques, and acoustic detection. For all these issues, experimental progress has been accompanied by theoretical developments and numerical simulation studies that have led to a better understanding of relaxation processes, mechanical and ultimate properties.

This webinar aims to bring together cutting-edge research in the field of glassy polymer physics that addresses some of these issues in this spirit.
