Glass *** Current Issues is the proceedings of a NATO Advanced
Study Institute held in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife between the 2nd
and 13th April 1984. The objectives of the School were twofold.
Firstly to inform participants of actual and developing technolog
ical applications of glassy materials in which fundamental science
makes a strong contribution, and secondly to bring together
scientists from the widely different backgrounds of glass science
and technology to promote mutual understanding and collaboration.
The amorphous state has for more than a decade now been a
renaissance of scientific and technological activity extending
beyond traditional glass technology research. Striking developments
of amorphous materials have been made in fields such as metallurgy,
electronics and telecommunications and even in disciplines until
recently less concerned by materials science, such as colloid
chemistry, medicine and agriculture. The physical and chemical
properties brought into application here result from the
interaction between the glass composition and its non-crystalline
structure. One role of the basic research is to understand this
interaction, which in time through development, helps to extend the
range of properties and applications. In this meeting we hoped to
sensitize participants to the vast range of applications of
amorphous materials which exploit their unique properties, and thus
broaden future investigation. The program was organised around
seven topics, signposts of scientific and technological activity in
the 1980'S: optical materials, amorphous metals, crystallisation
phenomena, electronic and electrical devices, sol-gel preparative
methods, composite materials and long-term applications.
