The Program of the conference “Glass: Science and Practice” includes discussion of a wide range of topical fundamental and applied problems in the following areas:
- Section 1. The nature of the glass state. The structure of glass-forming melts and glasses
- Section 2. Physical and chemical properties of glass-forming melts and glasses
- Section 3. Methods of synthesis of glasses. Technology and manufacture. The new vitreous and glass-crystalline materials: special glass (bio-, sol-gel, oxygen-free, fluoride, porous, etc.); nanocomposites based on glass-forming systems.
- Section 4. Practical applications of glass: optics, laser technology and photonics; ecology; building industry. Archeology and art glass.
Report presentation:
