Intermolecular forces and the glass transition
Article Abstract:
Random first-order transition theory is used for determining the role of attractive and repulsive interactions in the dynamics of supercooled liquids. The microscopic calculations have supported the existence of an intersection of the transition temperature and the lower crossover temperature at sufficiently low temperatures.

Thermodynamic-kinetic correlations in supercooled liquids: A critical survey of experimental data and predictions of the random first-order transition theory of glasses
Article Abstract:
The thermodynamic-kinetic correlations in supercooled liquids are examined. Robust trends and accurate quantitative predictions of kinetic fragility from thermodynamics without the use of any adjustable fitting parameters are provided by microscopic theory of glasses based on random first-order transitions.
