CONT

Une augmentation de la température fait passer le verre sans discontinuité de l'état solide élastique aux basses températures, à l'état de liquide visqueux pour des températures suffisamment élevées; ce passage, réversible, se fait à travers une plage de température appelée zone de transition vitreuse (ou de transformation) et se traduit par la modification de certaines propriétés du verre qui a alors un comportement viscoélastique.
