Temperature dependence of the viscosity η(T) of fragile and strong polymer and non-polymer glass formers was analyzed. A temperature Txwas introduced which marks the boundary between a high- and low-temperature regime, where different approaches are applied to interpolate η=η(T). At T<Txa master curve is obtained for polymer and non-polymer glass formers by scaling the quantity (Tg/T−1) with a factor F=Tx/(Tx−Tg) where Tgis the glass transition temperature. F is related to the steepness parameter m via F≅0.079m. A continuous transition from the master curve of non-polymer systems to the one of polymers is found if molecular weight is systematically increased. Txis found to be close to the critical temperature Tcreported from analyses of the dynamic susceptibility by mode coupling theory. It is tentatively concluded that the magnitude of the interval between Txand Tgdefines the degree of fragility. At T>Txdeviations 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<Txcan be interpolated by several formulae.
