Offered in 0 more formats"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"--
In a combination technical monograph, textbook, and reference, H÷land and Beall, respectively from German and US companies, review the scientific and technological background of new glass-ceramic materials and their properties, and their application in selected areas. They suggest that materials science and technology read the book straight through, but readers interested in details of microstructure, chemical composition, crystals, and such matters can read selected chapters. Applications they describe include photosensitive and etched patterned materials, telescope mirrors, optics, medicine, dentistry, and electrical and electronic components. Several of the illustrations are in color. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
