Patents and papers An idea of the scientific and commercial importance of glass-ceramics
comes from a search on Free-patents Online, which comprises granted patents or …

Over the past 36 years, our research has mainly focused on the crystallization kinetics and
properties of glasses and glass‐ceramics. A sampling of the most conclusive papers are …

Magma may fragment as it ascends through the volcanic plumbing system to the Earth
surface, forming volcanic ash and pyroclasts (Scheu and Dingwell 2022, this issue). If the …

Sintered materials are used as permeable filters and flow controllers, for which a validated
and general model of porosity and permeability is required. Here, we prepare samples built …

We conduct experiments to investigate the sintering of high-viscosity liquid droplets. Free-
standing cylinders of spherical glass beads are heated above their glass transition …

Volcanic ash is often deposited in a hot state. Volcanic ash containing glass, deposited
above the glass transition interval, has the potential to sinter viscously both to itself (particle …

The shear viscosity and the glass-vapor surface tension at high temperature are crucial to
understand the viscous flow sintering kinetics of porcelain stoneware. Moreover, the …

We investigated the effect of dispersed crystalline particle volume content Φ on sintering of
glass matrix composites (GMC) for low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) applications …

We define an adimensional parameter, S, that is capable of predicting if a glass powder
compact can be fully densified by viscous flow sintering or if concurrent surface …

We present an experimental investigation of surface tension–driven sintering and
associated densification of glassy rhyolitic ash and crystals under shallow volcanic conduit …
