Glass-ceramic materials- principles, development, and applications
Glass-ceramic materials occupy a unique position in the development of a range of new and versatile technologies. Offering readers a comprehensive overview of the many types of glass-ceramic materials, the methods of their development, and their countless uses across a range of industries, Glass-Ceramic Technology, Second Edition is a must-have resource on a rapidly emerging field of materials science.
With applications across many industries, from missile nose cones to cookware to electronic packaging, glass-ceramics are found in virtually all fields where thermo-mechanical properties are most critical. Edited by two leading authorities in the field, Wolfram Höland and George H. Beall, responsible themselves for the development of several of the new materials described in the book, Glass-Ceramic Technology examines the key principles involved in glass-ceramic formation, composition systems, microstructure control, and more.
Fully revised and updated to provide cutting-edge coverage of the most recent developments, this Second Edition looks at new high-strength glass-ceramics, new composite materials containing glass-ceramics and high-strength polycrystalline ceramics, new glass-ceramics with special optical properties and new dental materials. The book provides in-depth discussion of development trends, with an emphasis on controlled nucleation and crystallization in specific materials systems, placing a particular emphasis on applications within the medical and dental fields.
Designed as a resource for anyone looking to learn more about glass-ceramic materials, their scientific and technological background, and their applications, Glass-Ceramic Technology, Second Edition is essential reading for scientists, engineers, technicians, and students working in the natural and medical sciences and technology, and related fields.
Glass-ceramic materials share many properties with both glass and more traditional crystalline ceramics. This new edition examines the various types of glass-ceramic materials, the methods of their development, and their countless applications. With expanded sections on biomaterials and highly bioactive products (i.e., Bioglass and related glass ceramics), as well as the newest mechanisms for the development of dental ceramics and theories on the development of nano-scaled glass-ceramics, here is a must-have guide for ceramic and materials engineers, managers, and designers in the ceramic and glass industry.
