The goal		The objectives of the course are: to introduce certain key aspects of glass -ceramic technology; To understand glass formation and principles of designing glass-ceramic formation; to provide knowledge to control crystallization of glass. During the course students are introduced to nucleation, crystal growth and thermodynamic basis and mechanisms for phase separation. Composition systems for glass-ceramics are presented during the course. The course includes discussion of the effects of composition, thermal treatment on the microstructure of glass-ceramic. The students are introduced to applications of glass-ceramics.
The outcome		Upon successful completion of the course, students will have: a knowledge of the principles of glass and glass-ceramic formation and phase separation; ability to select composition and designing formation of glass-ceramics with controlled properties. The students gain knowledge on: the effects of composition; the effects of thermal treatment on the microstructure of glass-ceramic; applications of glass-ceramics.
