摘要
An equation is derived that expresses the thermodynamic scaling exponent, gamma, which superposes relaxation times tau and other measures of molecular mobility determined over a range of temperatures and densities, in terms of static physical quantities. The latter are available in the literature or can be measured at ambient pressure. We show for 13 materials, both molecular liquids and polymers, that the calculated gamma are equivalent to the scaling exponents obtained directly by superpositioning. The assumptions of the analysis are that the glass transition T-g is isochronal (i.e., tau(a) is constant at T-g, which is true by definition) and that the pressure derivative of the glass temperature is given by the first Ehrenfest relation. The latter, derived assuming continuity of the entropy at the glass transition, has been corroborated for many glass-forming materials at ambient pressure. However, we find that the Ehrenfest relation breaks down at elevated pressure; this limitation is of no consequence herein, since the appeal of the new equation is its applicability to ambient-pressure data. The ability to determine, from ambient-pressure measurements, the scaling exponent describing the high-pressure dynamics extends the applicability of this approach to a broader range of materials. Since gamma is linked to the intermolecular potential, the new equation thus provides ready access to information about the forces between molecules.
