TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of the glass transition of meta-toluidine combining several light scattering techniques was performed, and the structural relaxation time was measured in depolarized geometry from the transition temperature up to well above the melting point and found to vary over 13 time decades.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured and analyzed the appearance with decreasing temperature of transverse acoustic waves in the supercooled liquid metatoluidine, and determined, at each temperature, solely from the light scattering spectra, the dynamical shear viscosity, from which its zero-frequency limit, ηs(T, 0), can be deduced.

TL;DR: In this article, light-scattering measurements on 1-4 polybutadiene of two molecular weights were carried out using two different tandem Fabry-Perot interferometers in the backscattering and scattering geometries.

TL;DR: In this article, the hydrodynamic equations which describe the shear dynamics of a liquid composed of anisotropic molecules, both in its normal and its supercooled phases, are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, hydrodynamic equations were established to describe the shear dynamics of a supercooled liquid composed of anisotropic molecules, and these equations were used to analyse 90° depolarized light scattering experiments performed in super-cooled metatoluidine, and showed that the viscosity values extracted from the analysis are consistent with independent static measurements performed in the same temperature range.
