The kinetics of cluster growth in segregation and crystallization processes in highly viscous materials taking into account stress development andstress relaxation is investigated theoretically. Different models of stressdevelopment are considered for the case that stresses arise due to the formation and growth of the newly evolving phase. The theory is formulated in terms of differential equations describing the evolution of the cluster size, the change in time of the thermodynamic driving force of cluster growth and other related quantities. Based on the numerical solution of these equations several effects are analyzed which may occur as the result of stress development and stress relaxation.
