X-Message-Number: 3639 Subject: SCI.CRYONICS: Low Temperature Cryonics ERRATUM From: (Ben Best) Date: Sat, 7 Jan 1995 20:53:00 -0500 Minutes after having posting my "Low Temperature Cryonics Replies", I realize that I made an error. At Tg there is a sudden increase in VISCOSITY (usually many orders of magnitude), but there is no comparable sudden decrease in VOLUME. In fact, Tg is characterized as a temperature-range where the rate of decrease of volume decreases, although volume does continue to decrease (and viscosity continues to increase) linearly below Tg. I still think Tg could be a temperature critical to cracking because the sudden increase in viscosity would be likely to affect heat conduction as well as stress. -- Ben Best () Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3639
