Molecular internal space effects

EFFECTS OF AN INTRINSIC METRIC OF MOLECULAR INTERNAL SPACE ON CHEMICAL REACTION DYNAMICS... 

Sub-glass transitions are generally determined by the molecular (local) scale structure. Their location in the (t, T) space undergoes only a second-order influence of the macromolecular (network) structure through internal antiplasticization effects. By contrast, glass transition is directly under the influence of the network structure (Chapter 10), so that it appears interesting to study the influence of crosslinking on the parameters of the time-temperature relationship (WLF equation) ... 

Finally, we would like to point out that the kinematic effects of DCF inducing an asymmetry in mass balance in a many-body system should be of universal significance not only in molecular systems but also in a wide variety of many-body systems. This is because the DCF originates not from the interaction potential but from the intrinsic metric of internal space, which is uniquely determined from the shape and mass balance of a system. It is therefore anticipated that the DCF should be an important factor not only in molecular dynamics but in collective motions in nuclear, celestial, and biological many-body systems.
