Abstract
Confining a system between two walls or in pores changes its static and dynamic properties. In glass-forming
materials, confinement has a strong effect on dynamic properties and, in particular, on the glass transition
temperature of the system. In the recent years, numerous studies have been performed on confinement effects in
amorphous polymers and small organic glass-formers. This article makes a review of the progress achieved
experimentally in this field, outlining the questions that are still controversial.
