Austen Angell
Encyclopedia
Charles Austen Angell is a chemist known for his prolific and highly cited research on the physics of glass
es and glass-forming liquids.
His most cited contribution is probably the "strong–fragile" classification of viscous liquid
s. The representation of log viscosity vs reduced inverse temperature Tg/T is also known as the "Angell plot".
Glass
Glass is an amorphous solid material. Glasses are typically brittle and optically transparent.The most familiar type of glass, used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels, is soda-lime glass, composed of about 75% silica plus Na2O, CaO, and several minor additives...

Viscous liquid
In condensed matter physics and physical chemistry, the terms viscous liquid, supercooled liquid, and glassforming liquid are often used interchangeably to designate liquids that are at the same time highly viscous , supercooled, and able to form a glass.- Working points in glass processing :The...
