Abstract
We report on an experiment and new formula revealing dynamic and structural heterogeneity observed in liquids and polymeric systems. The formula applied to data obtained by mechanical spectroscopy reveals the glass-forming system behaviour giving the parameters previously postulated. The presented results are compared with data obtained for liquids (oligomers) confined to nanoporous media. To explain the behaviour of the polymeric systems the three-phase model is considered.
