Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Dental glass-ceramics (DGCs) are developed by controlled crystallization of oxide glasses
and form an important group of biomaterials used in modern dentistry. They are also of great …

Due to their measurable crystallization kinetics, oxide glass-formers are adequate systems
for evaluating theoretical approaches to describe and predict crystal nucleation dynamics …

Nucleation is one of the primary contributions to the microstructure of glass-ceramics.
However, the nucleation process within glass-ceramics is not understood across all glass …

The price of lithium-containing minerals and other chemical materials continues to increase,
resulting in an increase in the production cost of Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 (LAS) system glass …

Glass ceramics based on the system Li 2 O/Al 2 O 3/SiO 2 (LAS) often show a coefficient of
thermal expansion close to zero. Although these glass-ceramics are of high economic …

Lithiumalumosilicate glasses are of great importance for industrial applications, because
they enable the preparation of glass ceramics with coefficients of thermal expansion close to …

Low thermal expansion Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 transparent glass-ceramics with low Li 2 O
content and relatively high total content of Na 2 O and K 2 O (> 2.00 wt.%) were prepared …

Glass ceramics based on Li2O/Al2O3/SiO2 are of high economic importance, as they often
show very low coefficients of thermal expansion. This enables a number of challenging …

Crystallization of glass has significant effects on glass structure and the resultant ion-
exchange behaviors. In this work, transparent glass-ceramics (GCs) with sequential …
