Models Of Agglomeration And Glass Transition is written by Richard Kerner and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1911299298 (ISBN 10) and 9781911299295 (ISBN 13).

This book is for any physicist interested in new vistas in the domain of non-crystalline condensed matter, aperiodic and quasi-crystalline networks and especially glass physics and chemistry. Students with an elementary background in thermodynamics and statistical physics will find the book accessible. The physics of glasses is extensively covered, focusing on their thermal and mechanical properties, as well as various models leading to the formation of the glassy states of matter from overcooled liquids. The models of agglomeration and growth are also applied to describe the formation of quasicrystals, fullerenes and, in biology, to describe virus assembly pathways./a
