This book provides a concise and inexpensive introduction for an undergraduate course in glass science and technology. The level of the book has deliberately been maintained at the introductory level to avoid confusion of the student by inclusion of more advanced material, and is unique in that its text is limited to the amount suitable for a one term course for students in materials science, ceramics or inorganic chemistry. The contents cover the fundamental topics of importance in glass science and technology, including glass formation, crystallization, phase separation and structure of glasses. Additional chapters discuss the most important properties of glasses, including discussion of physical, optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. A final chapter provides an introduction to a number of methods used to form technical glasses, including glass sheet, bottles, insulation fibre, optical fibres and other common commercial products. In addition, the book contains discussion of the effects of phase separation and crystallization on the properties of glasses, which is neglected in other texts. Although intended primarily as a textbook, Introduction to Glass Science and Technology will also be invaluable to the engineer or scientist who desires more knowledge regarding the formation, properties and production of glass.

Glass: Science and Technology, Volume 5: Elasticity and Strength in Glasses covers the scientific and engineering aspects of glass elasticity and strength. This volume is organized into six chapters and begins with the examination of the elastic properties of vitreous silica and silicate glasses, including those that contain moderate amounts of other network formers. The following chapters describe the fracture mechanics and inelastic deformation of oxide, metallic, and polymeric glasses. The discussion then shifts to the concept of glass strengthening approaches and some technologies of significant practical application to glasses. A chapter explores the process of thermal tempering of glass, including the physics, theories, and standards of the process. The last chapter focuses on the practical aspects of chemical strengthening and the mechanical and physical properties of the obtained glass. This book is of great benefit to glass scientists and researchers.

"Linda Henderson's work stands out as a truly original contribution. . . . She has enlarged and illuminated our understanding of the most intelligent, elusive, and influential artist of the twentieth century."--Calvin Tomkins, author of "Duchamp: A Biography" "Henderson's book is the most thorough and dedicated analysis ever written about Duchamp's work. It represents the single most complete study of the "Large Glass" and its scientific sources-one that is unlikely to be surpassed."--Francis Naumann, author of "Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Making Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" "In tracing the emergence of Duchamp's artworks from their actual cultural/scientific context, Henderson has produced what is quite simply an indispensable book."--Marjorie Perloff, author of "Wittgenstein's Ladder and Differentials: Poetry, Poetics, Pedagogy" "Among the readers of Linda Henderson's brilliant book, historians of science will be especially rewarded by her thorough research into an area hitherto insufficiently explored-how artists and other laypersons during Duchamp's time came to learn of, and draw upon, the stream of exciting results of early twentieth century science."--Gerald Holton, Harvard University

The opening chapter of Glass-Ceramics: Properties, Applications and Technology offers an overview of glass-ceramics (GCs) from their discovery to their domestic and technological applications in our society today. Important methods for manufacturing GCs are explained, including the petrurgic method, conventional melt-quench methods, as well as cold forming and sinter-crystallisation methods.The authors go on to discuss devoted to potassium alumina borate glass-ceramics activated by different transition metal ions, which results in different features from magneto-optical rotation to high luminescent properties. Technology features and research results on the potassium alumina borate glass-ceramics properties after doping it with chromium, manganese, iron and copper ions are also examined.Ceramics and glass-ceramics are thermodynamically stable systems, which serve as an alternative for industrial glasses by a number of physico-chemical characteristics. Thus, this compilation also studies the applicability of spark plasma sintering for the fabrication of highly dense ceramic and glass-ceramic matrices containing radionuclides, which are based on zeolites of diverse origin.Glass and ceramic based materials are currently applied to numerous areas of the medical and dental profession. The authors suggest that bioceramic based materials can be formulated to contain specific ions that present a therapeutic benefit to the host tissue when released in vivo. In addition to positively influencing osteogenesis, the effect of ionic dissolution from bioactive glasses has resulted in stimulating physiological processes such as chondrogenesis and angiogenesis, imparting antimicrobial properties and presenting anti-inflammatory effects.The concluding chapter deals with the design, budget and study of the economic viability of a pilot plant for the development of glass-ceramic panels, mainly focused on research on the possibility of using industrial residues as raw materials in their manufacture.
