Pages : 950
Book Description
This volume describes how current methods of surface and thin film analysis, microscopy, and electron microscopy in combination with optical measurements and spectroscopy can be used in research and development, and in the production of glasses, glass ceramics, and thin film coatings. All these methods can contribute to the main aims of development and production, i.e., to develop useful properties of the surface of glass and glass ceramics, either coated or not, and to reproduce these properties within the wanted accuracy under the most economic conditions of production. The book is conceived as a monograph; the individual chapters on the corresponding subjects, however, are written by experts who cooperate with or are at Schott. Illustrating examples and numerous references are provided throughout the book.

Low Thermal Expansion Glass Ceramics
Author: Hans Bach
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662030837
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
This book, entitled Low Thermal Expansion Glass Ceramies, is one of aseries reporting on research and development acitivites on products and processes conducted by the Schott Group. The scientifically founded development of new products and technical pro cesses has traditionally been of vital importance at Schott and has always been performed on a sc ale determined by the prospects for application of our special glasses. The scale has increased enormously since the reconstruction of the Schott Glaswerke in Mainz. The range of expert knowledge required for that could never have been supplied by Schott alone. It is also a tradition in our company to cultivate collaboration with customers, universities, and research institutes. Publications in numerous technical journals, which since 1969 we have edited to a regular timeplan as Forschungsberichte - 'research reports' - formed the basis of this cooperation. They contain up-to-date infor mation on various topics for the expert but are not suited as survey material for those whose standpoint is more remote. This is the point where we would like to place our series, to stimulate the exchange of thoughts, so that we can consider from different points of view the possibilities offered by those incredibly versatile materials, glass and glass ceramics. We would like to show scientists and engineers, interested customers, and friends and employees of our firm the knowledge that has been won through our research and development at Schott in cooperation with the users of our materials.

Glasses and Glass Ceramics for Medical Applications
Author: Emad El-Meliegy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461412285
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Glass ceramics are a special group of materials in which a base glass can be crystallized under carefully controlled conditions, which in turn determine the properties of the material. These materials offer a wide range of physical and mechanical properties combining the distinctive characteristics of sintered ceramics and glasses. This book provides readers with an interest in medical ceramics with the ability to start making their own glasses and glass ceramics, together with an understanding of the various factors that control the final properties of these medical and dental materials. In addition, the authors describe various industrial problems with current, clinically-used medical glass ceramics and discuss appropriate scientific solutions. Glasses and Glass Ceramics for Medical Applications will appeal to a broad audience of biomaterials scientists, ceramists, and bioengineers, particularly those with an interest in orthopedic and dental applications, as well as scientists and engineers involved in the manufacture of glasses, glazes, enamels, and other glass coatings for the medical materials industry. The book will also be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in materials engineering and dentistry, and is suitable for use in courses on medical and dental materials.
