Scientific paper

Based on recent laboratory studies, an overview is given of the properties of various ices and ice mixtures condensed at low temperatures, and on their evolution during heating up to temperatures typical of the perihelion temperatures of short period comets. The kinetics of formation and of decomposition of clathrate hydrates and molecular hydrates is outlined and the possibility of their occurrence in comet nuclei is discussed. Special attention is given to the thermal behavior of amorphous and fluffy icy material.
