Abstract
S-shaped kinetic curves are very frequent in nature. Based on our own experimental evidence on the growth of single dendrites and analysis of literature data, we have demonstrated that such curves may result from the maximum entropy production principle. The proposed approach also explains other prevalent laws of relaxation in nonequilibrium systems (exponential, Kohlrausch, etc.).Keywords
