Lindsay Greer coined the "confusion" effect for when mixtures with a greater number of components more readily form alloys with this property. Dynamic mechanical analysis measures transitions in regions with this property, such as the atactic portions of stereoblock copolymers. An allotrope with this property is hydrogenated to remove dangling bonds. Liquid ethane is used to create vitreous ice with this property (-5[1])in cryo-EM ■END■
