The most striking result of the work is the presence of two different glass transition temperatures: one due to the freezing of the flip-flop motions of the bulkier unit of the dimer and the other, at a lower temperature, related to the freezing of the flip-flop and precessional motions of the cyanobiphenyl unit. This result shows the fact that glass transition is the consequence of the freezing of one or more coupled dynamic disorders and not of the disordered phase itself. In order to avoid crystallization when the bulk sample is cooled down, the LC dimer has been confined via the dispersion of γ-alumina nanoparticles, in several concentrations.The authors are grateful for financial support from the MICINN project MAT2012-38538-C01-02 and 03, the Gobierno Vasco (GI/IT-449-10), the Aragón Government and FSE (Project E04) and the Generalitat de Catalunya, Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (2009SGR1168).We acknowledge support by the CSIC Open Access Publication Initiative through its Unit of Information Resources for Research (URICI).Peer ReviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Gobierno de AragónGeneralitat de CatalunyaEusko JaurlaritzaConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2017201720152017info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/147838reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
