Published: February 2009

Preliminary results of an investigation into the possible use of glass-ceramic frits from fly ash and glass cullet in terracotta (stoneware) tile manufacture are reported. Two new ceramics were studied and compared with a plant composition, containing 45 wt.% sodium feldspar. In the first ceramic batch 20% of the feldspar was substituted by frits and in the second the whole amount of feldspar was eliminated and replaced by 35% frits and 10% refractory waste. It was found that the addition of low viscous glass-ceramic frits decreased the sintering temperature by 50-100 degrees C. At the same time, due to formation of an additional crystal phase (i.e. pyroxene or anorthite) the new ceramics showed an improvement of 25-50% in bending strength.

The purpose of this research is to discuss the preparation, characterization, and characteristics of lithium disilicate-fluorcanasite (LF) glass-ceramics in order to develop new dental glass-ceramics. A typical melt quenching method was used to produce the lithium disilicate (LD) and fluorcanasite (FC) types of glass. Following that, the LD and FC glass frits were combined and remelted in the following LD:FC ratios of 100:0, 0:100, 75:25, and 50:50 wt%, represented by S1, S2, S3, and S4, respectively.

The development of new mesoporous frits for reference electrodes to overcome the limitations of cross-contamination and screening effect is essential for many electrochemical measurements. Available frit-based reference electrodes (, mesoporous, microporous) still suffer from cross-contamination and/or errors in electrochemical measurements. In this work, a mesoporous glass-ceramic composite is prepared to mitigate such limitations.

A phosphate glass NaO-NbO-PO (NPP) is incorporated into NaNbO (NN) ceramics to examine its impact on the density, rearrangement of structural units, dielectric and energy storage features of the elaborated composites. The sodium niobate ceramic (NN) is prepared using the solid state process, whereas, the NaO-NbO-PO (NPP) glasses are produced using the method of conventional melt quenching. The glass (NPP) is added to the ceramic (NN) according to the composition (100-x) NN-xNNP; (x = 0, 2.

Glass and bioactive glass-ceramic can be used in several applications. In bone growth where good bone/biomaterial adhesion was required, bioactive coatings for implants can improve bone formation. The glass and glass-ceramics of the LZS (Li O-ZrO -SiO ) system are very interesting because of their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.
