## Abstract **Summary:** A unified model is developed for the finite sizeβeffect on the glassβtransition temperature of polymers, __T__~g~(__D__), where __D__ denotes the diameter of particles or thickness of films. In terms of this model, __T__~g~ depends on both the size and interface conditions.
A quantitative explanation is given for the apparent viscosity increase with increasing capillary shear rate for polystyrene at temperatures approaching the glass transition, T,. Possible shifts in T, as a function of the parameters shear rate, frequency, and pressure are interrelated to viscosity
