""Silicate Glasses and Melts - Properties and Structure" first introduces the reader to the principles that govern the and chemical properties of these materials and, in particular, to the mutual relations between their properties and structure. With pure SiO[subscript 2] as a s…
This book describes the structure-property-composition relationships for silicate glasses and melts of industrial and geological interest. From Antiquity to the 20th century, an introductory chapter presents this subject in a historical perspective. Basic concepts are then discu…
