Glass Transition Temperature of Saccharide Aqueous Solutions Estimated with the Free Volume/Percolation Model

The glass transition temperature of trehalose, sucrose, glucose, and fructose aqueous solutions has been predicted as a function of the water content by using the free volume/percolation model (FVPM). This model only requires the molar volume of water in the liquid and supercooled regimes, the molar...
