Abstract
An analysis is made of the change in entropy in the glass transition p rocess. It is shown that although the entropy of glass transition is l ess than that of melting, it is no more than two orders of magnitude s maller. The main results are obtained without using the conditions of local equilibrium, which are not satisfied for the glassy state. (C) 1 998 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-7850(98)00302-4].
