The goal | The objectives of the course are: to introduce certain key aspects of glass science and technology; To understand glass formation and aspect of glassy state; to provide knowledge to avoid or control crystallization of glass. During the course students are introduced to thermodynamic basis and mechanisms for phase separation. Properties and applications of glasses are presented during the course. The course includes discussion of the effects of phase separation, crystallization and thermal history on the properties of glasses. The students learn about manufacturing and forming methods, annealing and secondary finishing operations of commercial glass products. | |||
The outcome | Upon successful completion of the course, students will have: a knowledge of the principles of glass formation and glassy state; ability to describe the structure and properties of different classes of glasses; possibility to prevent or control crystallization; knowledge about the effects of phase separation, crystallization and thermal history on the properties of certain class of glass. The students gain knowledge on: manufacturing methods and application of flat, container glasses and glasses for special purposes. | |||
