Abstract

The phenomenology of the glass transition is briefly reviewed. Four classes of theories for the transition are discussed: rheological theories that account for the temperature dependence of the viscosity and/or relaxation time τ_p; kinetic theories that predict the form of the relaxation function M_p; relaxation theories that explain both the form of M_p and the temperature dependence of τ_p; and phenomenological theories that describe the kinetics of relaxation without reference to a microscopic model.
