Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the properties of glasses as materials and of the vitreous state in general. Aspects of the physics, chemistry and thermodynamics of the vitreous state are developed, covering in particular the definitions of vitreous transition, fictive temperature and various vitrification criteria, both structural and kinetic. The methods of describing disordered structures are then presented in terms of different models, followed by a review of various spectroscopic and radiation scattering techniques (X-rays, neutrons) of disordered structure determination. The author also considers phase separation in glasses and the problem of middle-range order. Following a classification of the different glass types, the rheological, diffusional, electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of glasses are presented. A condensed summary of glass manufacturing techniques is also given, including sol-gel processing methods. The broad coverage of this book makes it particularly suitable as an advanced text for students of materials science studying glasses. It should also be an excellent resource for those involved in research, at both a postgraduate and an industrial level.
