Book Glass Ceramics and Photo Sitalls

Download or read book Glass Ceramics and Photo Sitalls written by A. I. Berezhnoi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade since glass-ceramics first became mass-pro duced articles of commerce, they have become a popular subject for research and invention, as attested to by the 773 references cited in this book. Discovered almost accidentally during re search on photosensitive glasses, thermally crystallized glass ceramics have been distinguished by the rapid pace of their utili zation for distinctive new products. This promise has been recognized throughout the world, and original contributions have appeared from nearly every country having an ongoing glassmaking capability. Particularly numerous have been the publications and the ideas, scientific and technolOgi cal, issuing from the USSR. For several years, the annual All Union Conference on the Glassy State has been dominated by papers on catalyzed crystallization of glasses. With regard to new prod uct lines, we learn about slag-based sitaUs (glass-ceramics) and also about specialty items derived by radiation-assisted crystalli zation in glasses, photo-sitaUs. A. I. Berezhnoi has written a comprehensive review of the publications on this topic, which includes a balanced weighting to the contributions from the USSR and the USA, and also introduces advances from Britain, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Japan, and other centers of activity.

Book Recent Developments in Glass Research

Download or read book Recent Developments in Glass Research written by WW. Shaver and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glass in the form of a window, a mirror, or a container has been known and used for centuries. Defined as "a hard, brittle, transparent material," it was long regarded as mechanically unreliable. Slowly through the course of the past fifty years a new concept has evolved--a concept of glass as a new class of engineering materials with an amazing range of physical properties. Engineering materials in the plural sense is used advisedly for there are literally thousands of possible glass compositions, of which some five hundred are being regularly melted and worked into thousands of commercial product types. All this has come about through the application of research principles to this hard, transparent, brittle substance. It is our purpose to review one area of recent development in the field of glass as an illustration of modern research application. This area deals with methods and results of nucleation and crystal growth, with the creation of so-called photosensitive glasses and Pyroceram glass-ceramics.

Book Nucleation and Crystallization of Glasses and Glass Ceramics

Download or read book Nucleation and Crystallization of Glasses and Glass Ceramics written by Wolfram Höland and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The E-book "Nucleation and Crystallization of Glasses and Glass-Ceramics" highlights historic perspectives and current research in the field of glass-ceramic technology. Glass-ceramic technology is promising to provide us with materials of high strength, high toughness, unique electrical/electronic or magnetic properties, exceptional optical or unusual thermal or chemical properties. The greater diversity of microstructure-property arrangements and processing routes over glasses and ceramics are responsible that glass-ceramics are the preferred choice of materials in many technical, consumer, optical, medical/dental, electrical/electronic, and architectural fields. This includes increasing uses of glass-ceramic materials for environment and energy applications in the last decades. The positive development of glass-ceramic technology has become true in particular due to the pioneering spirit, resourcefulness, and courage of researchers of the first generation. Extraordinary and, therefore, to be distinguished is the work of the glass-ceramic inventor S. Donald Stookey to whom this Research Topic is dedicated. The authors, all experts in the field of glass-ceramics and based in industry, academia and governmental institutions, contributed to this E-book under the guidance of the Technical Committee 07 "Crystallization and Glass-Ceramics" of the International Commission on Glass (ICG).
