Trying to understand the reasons of the viscous slowing down of the dynamics while approaching the glass transition temperature, we used temperature, pressure, length of the chains in the case of polymeric systems or mixtures as complementary external parameters to influence glass transition. In this work, we studied length scales associated to dynamical heterogeneities near the glass transition in parallel to the properties of the supercooled liquid and the glass they form. New experiments performed in the last decade enabled to prove the heterogeneous character of the dynamics in supercooled liquids : regions both faster and slower than the average system exist in the liquid. The size of these regions, usually called dynamical heterogenei...
