The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

Glass ceramics represent a unique class of engineered materials that combine the favourable aspects of both glass and crystalline ceramics. Formed through controlled crystallisation (devitrification) ...

Schematic illustration of glass crystallization, photographs of ceramic samples treated at different temperatures under daylight and 450 nm blue light excitation showing variations in transparency and ...

Glass is a material distinguished by its amorphous or non-crystalline microscopic structure. 1 Glasses are typically transparent to visible light, and many are valued for their chemical inertness and ...
