The fundamental science behind glass and glass-ceramics in relation to research including syntheses, processing, characterization applications are critically reviewed this paper. crystalline structure of the phases/s investigated literature is also discussed. Throughout paper, scene set toward overall picture rationale choice a system. Additionally, earlier reviews do not include most recent fa...

The bioactive glass 45S5 was crystallized to 8-100 vol % of crystals by thermal treatments from 550-680 degrees C. The micro-structure of the glass-ceramics had a very uniform crystal size, ranging from 8 to 20 microns. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the rate of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) formation that occurs on bioactive glass and glass-ceramic implan...

Composites with a bulk metallic glass matrix were synthesized and characterized. This was made possible by the recent development of bulk metallic glasses that exhibit high resistance to crystallization in the undercooled liquid state. In this letter, experimental methods for processing metallic glass composites are introduced. Three different bulk metallic glass forming alloys were used as the...

In the last five decades, there have been vast advances in the field of biomaterials, including ceramics, glasses, glass-ceramics and metal alloys. Dense and porous ceramics have been widely used for various biomedical applications. Current applications of bioceramics include bone grafts, spinal fusion, bone repairs, bone fillers, maxillofacial reconstruction, etc. Amongst the various calcium p...

In the present study, the feasibility of α-Fe ferromagnetic phase formation in glass and glass-ceramic by reduction in hydrogen atmosphere have been investigated. The glass with the composition of 35Na 2 O–24Fe2O3–20B 2O3 – 20SiO 2 –1ZnO (mol %) was melted and quenched by using a twin roller technique. As quenched glass flakes were heat treated in the range of 400-675 °C for 1-2 h in h...

Glass beads of the Sr2MgSi2O7 stoichiometric composition and a non-stoichiometric with higher SiO2/SrO ratio doped Eu2O3/Dy2O3 were prepared through aerodynamic levitation coupled to CO2 laser heating. The glass subsequently treated at 1100 ºC produce glass-ceramics Sr2MgSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+ as main crystalline phase. glasses exhibit red emissions; after crystallisation, corresponding emit blue li...

Optical Ceramics A hybridization engineering strategy for construction of optical ceramics via glass crystallization is proposed by Shifeng Zhou and co-workers in article 2205578. As an important milestone, the first hybridized ceramic fiber successfully fabricated its promising applications photonics are demonstrated.
