The goal | The objectives of the course are to introduce students with principles of glass formation and aspects of glassy state. The students gain knowledge how to prevent or control crystallization. The students are introduced to fundamental thermodynamics and mechanisms for phase separation. The goal is for students to analyze glass properties in dependence of composition and to define the process of obtaining specific properties. Students are introduced to procedures of production of commercial glass products, forming methods, annealing and secondary finishing operations. | |||
The outcome | Students gain knowledge on structure, specific properties and processes of obtaining glasses for special purposes. Students are introduced to thermodynamics and mechanism of phase separation. Students gain knowledge on composition, structure, properties and application relations. Students are able to control and direct the production of commercial glasses. | |||
