There were about 200 papers on just semi conduction in glasses in                            1970 and one has to scan about 200 papers a month to sense the pulse of glass science. Yet there are many in industry and education in science or engineering who require or wish to have coher ent, comprehensive and                            contemporary information on this exciting material glass.  The Tutorial Symposium offered as an Introduction to Glass Science in Alfred represents an earnest attempt to ful fill this need. It has been designed to provide                            both broad and technical instruction for participants and readers who are not specialists. Glass is not only a material but a condition of matter: the vitreous state.

Glass structure models, with emphasis on the oxygen balance method, are presented in detail. Several chapters discuss the viscosity, density, thermal expansion, and mechanical properties of glasses as well as their optical and magnetic behavior and the diffusion of ions, atoms, and molecules and their effect on electrical conductivity, chemical durability, and other related behavior. In addition to the effects of atomic structure on the properties of glasses, the effects of phase separation, crystallization, and water content, which are neglected in most texts, are discussed extensively. Glass technology is addressed in chapters dealing with the raw materials for producing glasses, batch calculations, and the melting and fining processes. The compositions, properties, and production of commercial glasses are also presented. A chapter is devoted to the use of thermal analysis in the study of glasses, including their crystallization behavior. This expanded, third edition, includes new chapters on doped vitreous silica and the, often overlooked, role of halides on glass formation and properties. In addition, solutions to all of the exercises at the ends of chapters are included for the first time in this edition.  This introductory text is ideal for undergraduates in materials science, ceramics, or inorganic chemistry. It will also be useful to the graduate student, engineer, or scientist seeking basic knowledge of the formation, properties, and production of glass in support of their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction; Principles of Glass Formation; Glass Melting; Immiscibility\/Phase Separation; Structures of Glasses; Viscosity of Glass Forming Melts; Density and Thermal Expansion; Transport Properties; Mechanical Properties; Optical and Magnetic Properties; Water in Glasses and Melts; Thermal Analysis of Glasses; Glass Technology; Compositions and Properties of Commercial Glasses; Doped Vitreous Silica; Oxyhalide Glasses","brand":"Royal Society of Chemistry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741984207191,"sku":"9781839161414","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839161414.jpg?v=1720059561"},{"product_id":"composite-materials-science-and-engineering-9783030289850","title":"Composite Materials: Science and Engineering","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fourth edition of Krishan Chawla's widely used textbook, \u003ci\u003eComposite Materials,\u003c\/i\u003e offers integrated and completely up-to-date coverage of composite materials.

They can be divided into two classes: traditional and advanced. Traditional ceramics include clay products, silicate glass and cement; while advanced ceramics consist of carbides (SiC), pure oxides (Al2O3), nitrides (Si3N4), non-silicate glasses and many others. Ceramics offer many advantages compared to other materials. They are harder and stiffer than steel; more heat and corrosion resistant than metals or polymers; less dense than most metals and their alloys; and their raw materials are both plentiful and inexpensive. Ceramic materials display a wide range of properties which facilitate their use in many different product areas.

Some ceramics even feature drug-delivery capability. This book presents current research and cutting edge thinking in this field. It begins with an overview of the significance of calcium orthophosphates for humankind, specifically for dental and bone grafting applications. The development of granulate systems of calcium phosphate-based drugs with controlled drug release kinetics is examined as well. This is an increasingly important area of research because of the prevalent rates of infection in bone and dental surgery. In order for bioactive glasses or ceramics to bond to living bone, the formation of a bone-like apatite layer on their surfaces must occur. This book also presents two different methods for the synthesis of these bioceramic materials.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886716072279,"sku":"9781607410560","price":95.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781607410560.jpg?v=1722541285"},{"product_id":"photoionization-of-polyvalent-ions-9781607410713","title":"Photoionization of Polyvalent Ions","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe effect of polyvalent dopants on photoinduced defect formation was studied in different glasses. Ionisation of the glass matrix results in intrinsic defects, positively charged hole and negatively charged electron centres. Polyvalent dopants can be photooxidised or photoreduced. These extrinsic defects might replace selectively one or several intrinsic defects and\/or cause an increase in the number of opposite charged defects. Photoionisation can also result in unusual dopant valences otherwise not observed in glasses. The systematic comparison of different dopants and glass systems irradiated by excimer lasers helps to understand defect generation processes and might eventually help in the design of UV-resistant or UV-sensitive glasses. Defect formation occurs in the ppm range and was analysed by optical and EPR spectroscopy. A series of polyvalent dopants such as typical trace impurities, glass or melt additives and typical dopants used for optical components like filter glasses, optical sensors, fluorophores or photochromes, were studied. Distinct melting conditions give rise to different valences of various dopants and as a consequence different photoinduced redox-reactions might be observed after irradiation. Some dopants are photooxidised while others are photoreduced Some defects recombine easily or transform into more stable defects while others are stable for months or years.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886716793175,"sku":"9781607410713","price":44.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781607410713.jpg?v=1791474646"},{"product_id":"physical-aging-of-glasses-the-vft-approach-9781607413165","title":"Physical Aging of Glasses: The VFT Approach","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetallic, organic and mineral glasses evolve similarly with the time and approach an equilibrium state. This physical aging, a basic feature of the glassy state, is very important for a practical point of view. The ageing time and the conditions of glass preparation are important parameters, as temperature, stress and strain levels, which affect the mechanical properties at short and long times. The kinetics of physical aging, volume, enthalpy and mechanical properties (modulus, yield stress, creep, stress relaxation), are explained in the framework of the modified Vogel-Fulcher-Tamann (VFT) law giving the relaxation time. The model is based on the dependence of the co-operativity index (Kohlrausch exponent) n of the co-operative motions (alpha motions in polymers) on the volume. Below the glass temperature the relaxation time is function of T and of the volume. In the glass state the relaxation time depend on the time of measurement and on the ageing time. The relaxation equations are given and solved numerically in various experimental conditions a) isothermal and non isothermal ageing at constant pressure, b) varying pressure at constant temperature. The so called Tg transitions observed by dilatomery and calorimetry are predicted by the VFT relaxation equations and compared to the Deborah glass temperatures. The non exponential and non linear relaxations of the volume of glassy polymers, found by Struik, Kovacs, etc.., depend on the viscoelastic parameters of the liquid (C1 and C2) and on the expansion coefficients of the liquid and solid phases, there is no adjustable parameter. The calculated solutions of the relaxation equations are compared to the KWW functions (stretched and compressed exponentials), the stabilisation domain of glasses is defined and compared to the experimental results. The glass formers materials present the well-known volume, enthalpy and creep memory effects (Struik), the amplitude and the memory time of these effects are given as function of the thermal history of the glass. The evolution of the mechanical properties of glassy polymers are dependent on the ageing time and on the stress and strain level, the individual beta motions (and then the co-operative motions) been activated by the shear component of the stress tensor. The similar non linear evolution of volume and creep is thoroughly analysed in this model, the modified VFT law explains the dependences of the yield stress, creep compliance and stress relaxation modulus with ageing time, temperature and stress or strain rate. The mechanical properties can be described also by the ansatz KWW function; the relaxation time and the Kohlrausch exponent deduced from that function is found to vary inversely with the different parameters this is a direct consequence of the modified VFT law. It is shown that the long term creep behaviour can be predicted by the model.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886725542231,"sku":"9781607413165","price":73.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"introduction-to-industrial-technology-research-development-for-technological-progress-9781620818534","title":"Introduction to Industrial Technology: Research \u0026","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndustrial technologies have rapidly developed since the Industrial Revolution, and technological progress during the 19th century had been significantly promoted by the great inventors of that century including James Watt, Alfred Nobel and Thomas Edison.

As such, this book fills a critical gap in the literature, offering an excellent introduction for newcomers to atomistic modeling, as well as a comprehensive and state-of-the-art reference for practitioners in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAtomistic Simulations of Glasses\u003c\/i\u003e, published by ACerS-Wiley, consists of 15 chapters written by experts from around the world. It is edited by two leading authorities in computational glass science: Jincheng Du (University of North Texas) and Alastair N. Cormack (Alfred University). The book itself is gorgeous, printed in full color on high-quality paper. It is designed in a reader-friendly format, including a comprehensive index, an extensive list of references at the end of each chapter, and a helpful table to decode every acronym used throughout the book. Each chapter is well written and has been carefully polished. The text also flows smoothly across chapters, which is sometimes a problem in edited volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first five chapters are devoted to fundamentals of atomistic modeling techniques for glassy systems, including classical simulation methods (Chapter 1), quantum mechanical techniques (Chapter 2), reverse Monte Carlo (Chapter 3), structural analysis methods (Chapter 4), and topological constraint theory (Chapter 5). Each of these chapters does a great job at providing both foundational knowledge and discussing the state-of-the-art in methods and tools. The chapter on topological constraint theory is especially interesting because this is a family of techniques developed specifically for glassy materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe latter 10 chapters of the book focus on application of these techniques for simulating various glass families of interest. These chapters cover a wide range of silicate, aluminosilicate, and borosilicate glasses, as well as phosphate, fluoride, and oxyfluoride systems. The coverage of transition metal and rare-earth-containing glasses is also a nice touch. There is a particular emphasis on bioactive glasses and glasses for nuclear waste immobilization. As a whole, the 10 application-focused chapters do an excellent job demonstrating the utility and versatility of atomistic simulation approaches for addressing problems of practical concern in the glass science and engineering community. These chapters also provide good perspective on specific needs for future developments in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are a few missing topics that would have been valuable to include in the book. While reactive force fields are mentioned briefly, an entire chapter devoted to the principles and applications of reactive force fields such as ReaxFF would have been a nice addition, especially because reactive force fields are becoming increasingly important in the glass science community. Also, given the importance of thermal history in governing the structure and properties of glasses, it would have been worthwhile to include a chapter on accessing long time scales, e.g., using kinetic Monte Carlo, meta-dynamics, or the activation-relaxation technique, all of which have been applied to noncrystalline systems in the literature and can enable simulations to access experimental time scales. It also would have been helpful to expand the chapter on reverse Monte Carlo to include other Monte Carlo techniques more broadly; for example, Metropolis Monte Carlo is a computationally efficient alternative to molecular dynamics for calculating glass structure and static properties. Finally, given the large amount of research activity in modeling of metallic glasses, a chapter on atomistic simulations of metallic glasses would be a nice addition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverall, \u003ci\u003eAtomistic Simulations of Glasses\u003c\/i\u003e is a very welcome addition to the literature and highly recommended for both students and professionals in the field of computational glass science.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eJohn C.

This book reflects the diversity of glass objects (tableware, containers and small objects) and is designed as a practical manual divided into three parts. The first presents contexts in which colourless glass has been found; the second, in the form of index cards, is a typological catalogue which gives an overall picture of the colourless glassware found throughout Gaul; glass is highly useful as a dating tool but also tells us much about the economic, social and cultural aspects of its time. Chemical analyses form the third component. The volume of material gathered in this book makes it an indispensable working tool for researchers and students interested in the glassware of Roman antiquity.   Le verre incolore, volontairement décoloré au manganèse ou à l’antimoine, est celui qui est le plus souvent utilisé entre le milieu du Ier s. apr. J.-C. et le début du IVe s. Verres incolores de L’antiquité romaine en Gaule et aux marges de la Gaule rend compte de la diversité de ce mobilier (vaisselle, contenants et petits objets) est conçu comme un manuel pratique divisé en trois parties. La première présente des contextes renfermant du verre incolore ; la seconde, sous forme de fiches, est un catalogue typologique qui livre une image globale de la verrerie incolore découverte dans l’ensemble de la Gaule. Outil de datation, le verre nous informe aussi sur les aspects économiques, sociaux et culturels de son époque. Les analyses chimiques forment le troisième volet. La masse documentaire réunie dans cet ouvrage en fait un instrument de travail indispensable aux chercheurs et étudiants qui s’intéressent au verre de l’Antiquité romaine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume 1: Introduction; Avertissement; Abréviations; Bibliographie; Partie 1: Assemblages; Planches typologiques synthétiques; Volume 2: Partie 2 : Catalogue typologique; 1 Skyphoi, canthares et trullea; 2 Gobelets, coupes et cuillères moulés (?) et à décor taillé; 3 Gobelets et coupes à lèvre coupée; 4 Gobelets à pied annulaire et à lèvre arrondie; 5 Verres à pied à balustre ou à pied tronconique et à lèvre arrondie; 6 Bols, coupes et gobelets à lèvre arrondie ou coupée; 7 Assiettes et coupes moulées; 8 Assiettes et coupes soufflées; 9 Petits contenants et amphores; 10 Flacons allongés : fusiformes, tronconiques et cylindriques; 11 Bouteilles ansées; 12 Flacons sphériques; 13 Flacons ovoïdes, piriformes et tronconiques; 14 Cruches et flacons à panse aplatie; 15 Cruches et flacons à tubulure; 16 Cruches; 17 Flacons, autres objets insolites et vitres; 18 Les décors sur les verres incolores; Partie 3 : Analyses chimiques; Contribution à l’étude des verres décolorés à l’antimoine; Annexes; Abstract (English)","brand":"Archaeopress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535560352087,"sku":"9781784918972","price":123.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781784918972.jpg?v=1731898651"},{"product_id":"tracing-pottery-making-recipes-in-the-prehistoric-balkans-6th-4th-millennia-bc-9781789692082","title":"Tracing Pottery-Making Recipes in the Prehistoric","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTracing Pottery-Making Recipes in the Prehistoric Balkans 6th–4th Millennia BC \u003c\/i\u003eis a collection of twelve chapters that capture the variety of current archaeological, ethnographic, experimental and scientific studies on Balkan prehistoric ceramic production, distribution and use. The Balkans is a culturally rich area at the present day as it was in the past. Pottery and other ceramics represent an ideal tool with which to examine this diversity and interpret its human and environmental origins. Consequently, Balkan ceramic studies is an emerging field within archaeology that serves as a testing ground for theories on topics such as technological know-how, innovation, craft tradition, cultural transmission, interaction, trade and exchange. This book brings together diverse studies by leading researchers and upcoming scholars on material from numerous Balkan countries and chronological periods that tackle these and other topics for the first time. It is a valuable resource for anyone working on Balkan archaeology and also of interest to those working on archaeological pottery from other parts of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003e  Introduction: Tracing Pottery Making Recipes in the Prehistoric Balkans, 6th- 4th Millennium BC (Silvia Amicone) \u003cbr\u003e  1.
