Glass ceramic materials share many properties with both glasses and ceramics.
Thermal properties of glass ceramics.
This left it open to heat pressable ceramics that were not only easier to process but were also more reliable.
We specialize in raw material testing and quality control of glasses and ceramics.
Analyze sintering behavior expansions and many more.
As the need for more economically advantageous and environmentally friendly material synthesis methods rise there remains a significant need to set standard methods of characterization for.
Glass ceramics combine the properties of glasses with the benefits of conventional sintered ceramics.
Glass ceramics have an amorphous phase and one or more crystalline phases and are produced by a so called controlled crystallization in contrast to a spontaneous crystallization which is usually not wanted in glass manufacturing.
Such important pressable ceramics are the leucite glass ceramics e g.
The studies of thermal properties are crucial to understand the energy states and the stability relaxation and phase transition in glasses and the corresponding liquids.
