SILICATE GLASSES AND MELTS

Opis produktu

This book describes the structurepropertycomposition 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 discussed in three chapters where attention is paid to the glass transition and its various consequences on melt and glass properties to the structural and physical differences between amorphous and crystalline silicates and to the mutual relationships between local order energetics and physical properties. brbrWith pure SiOINF2/INF as a starting point compositions of increasing chemical complexity are successively dealt with in a dozen chapters. The effects of networkmodifying cations on structure and properties are first exemplified by alkali and alkaline earth elements. The specific influence of aluminum iron titanium and phosphorus are then reviewed. With water volatiles in the system COHS noble gases and halogens the effects of volatile components are also described. The last chapter explains how the results obtained on simpler melts can be applied to chemically complex systems. In each chapter physical and chemical properties are described first and followed by a review of glass and melt structure. When possible pressure effects are also considered. brbr*From SiOINF2/INF to complex silicate compositions the physical and chemical properties of melts and glasses of geological and industrial interestbr*Structural characterization of melts and glasses from ambient to high pressure and temperaturebr*From basic concepts to an advanced level a consistent description of the structurepropertycomposition relationships in glasses and melts
