Relaxation theories of the glass transition and viscous flow of glass-forming melts are presented. The main attention is devoted to modern representations of the glass transition equation qτ_g = δT_g determining the appearance of a glassy state during cooling. Here, q=d T/dt is the temperature change rate during melt cooling and τ_g is the relaxation time at the glass transition temperature T_g. Various methods for calculating the characteristic temperature band δ T_g during the liquid—glass transition are considered. The generalized equation for the dependence of T_g on the melt cooling rate is derived. Based on the model of delocalized atoms, the modified kinetic glass transition criterion is discussed. The generalized viscosity equation for glass-forming liquids is derived.
