This new edition of the successful ‘Glass-Ceramic Technology’ includes expanded sections on biomaterials and highly bioactive products, as well as the newest mechanisms for the development of dental ceramics and the latest theories on the mechanisms for the development of nano-scaled glass-ceramics as they relate to special optical properties . The book examines the various types of glass-ceramic materials, the methods of their development, and the countless applications for glass-ceramics. For example, glass-ceramic applications are used for dental restoration, and there has been great success in dental bridge applications, as well as single crowns and inlays made of glass-ceramics. This edition continues to look at glass-ceramics as new materials with new properties and outlines the expanding regions for applying these materials, specifically for biomedical purposes. This book provides a fundamental explanation of the new generation of glass-ceramics in an easy-to-use format and is a perfect resource for students, scientists, doctors, and engineers, as well as anyone interested in natural or medical science and technology.
