Chemistry of Glasses

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Continuing developments in glass science and technology have necessitated the revision of this successful work, which provides up-to-date coverage of the chemistry of glasses. A thorough treatment of the molecular structure and chemistry of the glassy state is presented in order that the relationsip between properties and function in glasses may be appreciated.

Rezensionen

'I am delighted to have had the opportunity to review this book; it is a must for scholars in this field, and I would heartily recommend it to those who even have only a passing interest in the subject of chemistry of glasses.' Glass Technology (Review of previous edition); 'A contribution to the field of glass science that will be highly welcome by all members of this field. The book is authoritative, well written, and illustrated in a highly useful manner...This book will be regarded as an important addition to all glass and ceramic libraries throughout the world.' Choice (Review of previous edition); 'expositions are generally clear and succinct' - Journal of Materials Chemistry
