Abstract
The stress-induced flow of non-Newtonian glass-forming systems is analysed in order to obtain a general algorithm for describing the kinetics of relaxation and retardation in glass-forming melts. It is shown that the existing empirical relations for plastic, pseudoplastic and dilatant flow can be derived in the framework of the Prandtl-Eyring potential barrier model, which is extended in order to include dilatant effects. The advantages and shortcomings of this molecular model are considered using experimental evidence on the flow of organic polymers, inorganic glasses and metal alloy glass-formers. It is shown that the mathematical formalism following from the potential barrier model can be conveniently used in order to derive the non-linear kinetics of relaxation of simple and polymer glass-forming melts.
