Book description
Written by the best researchers in the field, this up-to-date treatise
fills the gap for a high-level work discussing current materials and
processes. It covers all the steps involved, from vitrification,
relaxation and viscosity, right up to the prediction of glass
properties, paving the way for improved methods and applications.
For solid state physicists and chemists, materials scientists, and those
working in the ceramics industry.
With a preface by L. David Pye and a foreword by Edgar D. Zanotto
Prof. Ivan S. Gutzow, scientist with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences,
