The effect of Z r O 2 on the nucleation of lithium metasilicate crystals in lithium disilicate‐
based multicomponent glasses of composition in wt% x Z r O 2+(1−(x/100))(73.82 S i O 2+ …

This paper investigated the effects of P2O5 content and heat treatment on the species of
crystalline phase and microstructure of lithium disilicate glass ceramics. As P2O5 increased …

This paper investigates the effect of P2O5 content and sintering temperature on the
microstructure of lithium disilicate glass-ceramics and analyzes the relation between …

This work proposes four different glass formulas derived from the SiO2‐Li2O‐K2O‐Al2O3
system to investigate the effect of glass composition on their crystal formations and …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different nucleating agents (P 2 O 5,
TiO 2 and ZrO 2) on the crystallization behaviour and the properties of a parent glass with …
