The Gordon-Taylor equation is a semi-empirical model used in process engineering to predict the glass-transition temperature of homogeneous amorphous mixtures. It is crucial for understanding the plasticizing effect of components like water on polymer matrices. This calculation helps optimize processes like spray-drying, assess product stability, and design formulations by predicting critical temperatures.
