Abstract
Dakhnovskii and Lubchenko have recently presented a theory to predict the effect of charged impurities on the glass transition temperature (T g ) in a polar medium. We present and cite more extensive sets of experimental results that show that the electrolyte concentration required to induce a 10 K increase in T g is nearly three orders of magnitude greater than that predicted from their theory.Keywords
