Nanoconfinement and the glass transition: A cluster hypothesis
Article Abstract:
The depression of the glass temperature in nanoconfined liquids and polymers is explained by an effect of the confinement alone. The depression of the glass temperature in nanoconfined liquids and polymers are explained specifically, confinement by hard walls creates an excluded volume effect that decreases the fraction of molecules organized in clusters.

Supra-aggregates of fiber-forming anisotropic molecules
Article Abstract:
The self-organization of fiber-forming anisotropic molecules is inspected both theoretically and experimentally. Both theory and experiments show that holed supra-aggregates are more stable beyond a critical aggregation size and that the formation of holes is favored at high supersaturation.
