On the universality of viscosity in supersaturated binary aqueous sugar solutions: Cryopreservation by vitrification

We present the construction of the Supplemented Phase Diagram and the non-equilibrium nature of the undersaturated-supersaturated kinetic transition. The description of its thermodynamic nature is achieved through the study of behavior of their viscosity as temperature is lowered and concentration increased. In this work, we find a universal character for the viscosities of several sugar water solutions.PMID:38555011 | DOI:10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104886
