Abstract
SOME years ago an examination1 of the physical properties of tri-α-naphthyl benzene revealed that this compound exhibits unusual behaviour, spontaneously forming a hydrocarbon glass on cooling. It was also noted that the pure material (which is non-polar) could also be crystallized with difficulty. Recently, more extensive investigations of the physical properties of this material have led to significant results, particularly in relation to the nature of the transport phenomena experienced in viscous flow and crystallization.
