Abstract

Wet cotton cloth, rubber tires, plastic table covers from polyvinyl chloride, glass melts, and lathered beards, what do they have in common? Why does chewing gum becomes soft in the mouth?

The average polymer Enjoys a glassy state, but cools, forgets To slump, and clouds in closely patterned minuets.

John Updike, The Dance of the Solids, in “Midpoint and Other Poems”, A. Knopf New York 1968
