Resumo

Temperature dependence of the viscosity η(T) of fragile and strong polymer and non-polymer glass formers was analyzed. A temperature Tx was introduced which marks the boundary between a high- and low-temperature regime, where different approaches are applied to interpolate η=η(T). At T Tx deviations from the master curves occur, and the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann equation provides a very good fit to highest temperatures. The two master curves at T<Tx can be interpolated by several formulae.
