Pressure and temperature dependent viscosity of two glass forming liquids: Glycerol and dibutyl phthalate

The pressure and temperature dependent viscosities of two glass forming liquids, glycerol and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), have been studied in the range P=0–3 GPa, T=0–125 °C, and η=101–1010 cP. These studies were made using a combination of a rolling‐ball and a centrifugal‐force diamond anvil cell viscometer. The majority of the results extend up to viscosities of 107 cP, with those at 22.5 °C going to 1010 cP. The overall precision of the data are approximately 10% or better throughout. This level of precision allows us to define a viscosity surface which can then be extrapolated to the glass transition along both temperature and pressure cuts. The T‐dependence of viscosity is larger for glycerol than DBP but the P‐dependence smaller for glycerol than for DBP, whereas the T‐dependence is much more pressure sensitive for DBP. These data provide an assessment of the T‐dependence of an isothermal model (free volume), the P‐dependence of an isobaric model (Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher) and by extension that for isoch...
