lithium disilicate glass-ceramics. Methods IPS e. max CAD glass-ceramic samples were …

Four different transition metals contained nanocrystalline glass ceramics are synthesized by
melting and quenching technique. The transition metal oxides play as former, modifier or …

We have investigated the structural changes induced by high-pressure in lithium disilicate
glass with stoichiometric composition Li 2 O. 2SiO 2 (LS 2). Using toroidal type high …

This work explored the permanent changes a high pressure (HP) processing could cause on
nucleation, Raman vibrational modes, thermal, and mechanical properties of the Na2O• …

A systematic study of crystallization of barium disilicate at high pressures and temperatures
was undertaken. Two groups of samples were submitted to nucleation at 710° C, and then …

Experimental and spectroscopic investigation of glasses synthesized at high pressure
