The Logistic Function in Glass Transition Models of Amorphous Polymers: A Theoretical Framework for Isobaric Cooling Processes

Front Cover: A continuous transition function that approximates the macroscopic-phenomenological behavior of amorphous polymers at glass transition is obtained from an exactly-solvable Riccati equation. This ordinary differential equation is derived within thermodynamics with internal state variables. More details can be found in article 2400052 by Claudio Corbisieri.
