Organic Glass-Forming Liquids and the Concept of Fragility by Alba-Simionesco, Christiane

“…To distinguish them from other systems described in this issue, some specific properties such as the range of their glass transition temperature ($T_g$), their ability to vitrify and some rules of thumb to locate $T_g$ are presented. The most remarkable property of these liquids is how fast in temperature their viscosity or structural relaxation time increases as approaching $T_g$. …”

From green demand to deceptive practices: A cross-cultural study the impact of consumer green preferences on corporate greenwashing behavior in China, Republic of Korea, and Malays... by Zhibin Tao

“…Utilizing valid survey data from 1433 enterprises across these three countries, and employing SEM and fsQCA methods, the empirical test results indicate that among the three countries: (1) Consumer green preferences lead to corporate engagement in greenwashing behavior. (2) Consumer green preferences lead to market competitive pressure. (3) Market competitive pressure results in corporate greenwashing behavior. (4) Market competitive pressure plays a significant mediating role in the process by which consumer green preferences influence corporate greenwashing behavior. (5) Regulatory environment plays a moderating role in some of the impact paths across different countries, and in some impact paths, the moderating effect is absent. (6) The analysis results using the fsQCA method show that there are 4 different configurations leading to strong greenwashing behavior in enterprises in China, 3 in Republic of Korea, and 4 in Malaysia, and the most influential and explanatory configurations and paths have been identified. …”
