Glass transition temperature prediction of disordered molecular solids

Abstract Glass transition temperature, T g, is the key quantity for assessing morphological stability and molecular ordering of films of organic semiconductors. A reliable prediction of T g from the chemical structure is, however, challenging, as it is sensitive to both molecular interactions and an...
