Notes:
A model is developed to account for the viscous flow of glass-forming liquids. We consider that a supercooled glass-forming liquid is composed of a liquid phase and some solidlike clusters which have a higher activation energy for viscous flow than the liquid regions. This approach yields a fitting equation for viscosity with a simple form η=η0 exp(E/kBT)exp(ΦT/Tg), where E is the activation energy for viscous flow at low temperatures, and Φ represents the fragility of a glass-forming system. Our results suggest that kinetic viscous flow of glass-forming liquids is closely related to their thermodynamics. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
