This book covers preparation methods, characterization, and
applications of most glass families. It reports the fundamentals of
glass, challenges in the development, traditional and new
manufacturing processes, characterization techniques, structural,
thermal, and optical properties. The book reviews redox reactions
in glasses and the factors affecting them, in addition to the
techniques for determining the redox states and speciation of
polyvalent ions in glass. A special chapter is dedicate to
phosphate glasses, their importance, preparation methods, structure
and properties. The use of different types of phosphate glasses in
biomedicine, optics, electrochemistry, and as hosts for nuclear
wastes is thoroughly discussed. Moreover, the applications of
phosphate glasses in electronics and laser technology are also
discussed in this book. Recent experimental studies such as the
development of a novel bioglass system and the influence of ZnO,
TiO2, and Al2O3 incorporation on structural, mechanical strength,
degradation, pH variation, and formation of hydroxyapatite (Hap)
layer on the glass surface are reported. Promising
aluminum-silicate glassy system and its glass-ceramic counterpart
are also presented in this books. An overview of the calorimetry
approaches related to rare earth improvements on the thermal
stability of glass is provided. The book discusses the advances in
the chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) and based devices. It also reports
their applications in optical devices, semiconductor circuits, and
other applications. In addition, lanthanide and/or QDs doped
luminescent glasses and their use in solid-state lighting and
displays, security (anti-counterfeiting), optical temperature
sensors, and solar energy (solar spectrum conversion) are reviewed
along with a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages.
Finally, the nature of phthalocyanines as materials for glass
coatings and most widely used synthesis methods of porphyrins and
phthalocyanines are discussed.
