3rd Edition
by Wolfram Holand (Author), George H. Beall (Author)
An updated edition of the essential guide to the technology of glass-ceramic technology
Glass-ceramic
materials share many properties with both glass and more traditional
crystalline ceramics. The revised third edition of Glass-Ceramic Technology
offers a comprehensive and updated guide to the various types of
glass-ceramic materials, the methods of development, and the myriad
applications for glass-ceramics. Written in an easy-to-use format, the
book includes an explanation of the new generation of glass-ceramics.
The
updated third edition explores glass-ceramics new materials and
properties and reviews the expanding regions for applying these
materials. The new edition contains current information on
glass/glass-ceramic forming in general and explores specific systems,
crystallization mechanisms and products such as: ion exchange
strengthening of glass-ceramics, glass-ceramics for mobile phones, new
glass-ceramics for energy, and new glass-ceramics for optical and
architectural application. It also contains a new section on dental
materials and twofold controlled crystallization. This revised guide:
- Offers an important new section on glass/glass ceramic forming
- Includes the fundamentals and the application of nanotechnology as related to glass-ceramic technology
- Reviews the development of the various types of glass-ceramic materials
- Covers
information on new glass-ceramics with new materials and properties and
outlines the opportunities for applying these materials
Written for ceramic and materials engineers, managers, and designers in the ceramic and glass industry, the third edition of Glass-Ceramic Technology features
new sections on Glass/Glass-Ceramic Forming and new Glass-Ceramics as
well as expanded sections on dental materials and twofold controlled
crystallization.
