The 20-21 May course of the 2012 Glass & Optical Materials Division (GOMD) meeting will focus on various commercial oxide glass families, their nominal chemical composition, and their key properties that are important for applications.
Taught by Dr. Arun K. Varshneya, Fundamentals of Glass Science and Technology focuses on various commercial oxide glass families, their nominal chemical composition, and their key properties that are important for applications.
Registration is now open for the 20-21 May course, hosted in St. Louis, Mo. at the 2012 Glass & Optical Materials Division (GOMD) meeting.
At the end of the course, attendees should be able to:
- know the various commercial oxide glass families, their nominal chemical composition, and their key properties that are important for applications;
- understand its physical relationship to liquids and solids;
- have a general idea of key physical and chemical properties that lead to common applications;
- know the basics of glass melting and forming including annealing of the more common commercial glass products.
