We have investigated the relationship between the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the glass transition and solvation structure for simple amine and alcohol solutions of inorganic salts by using differential-scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Raman spectroscopy. Although the glass transition temperature (
Tg) increases with the addition of salts in common, the concentration dependence of the heat-capacity change ( Δ
Cp) at
Tg and the kinetic fragility index (
m) are quite different for the amine and alcohol solutions. The thermodynamic and kinetic properties depend more strongly on the solvents than on the solutes. From Raman results, the structural-breaking effect of adding ions on the hydrogen-bonding structure is found to be quite different between the amine and alcohol solutions. By comparing the DSC data with the Raman results, we suggest that the glass-transition thermodynamics and kinetics are controlled mainly by the strength or stability of hydrogen-bond structures and the properties of dominant intermolecular interactions in the solutions.
