Low thermal expansion glass ceramics

More about the book

This book is part of a series detailing the research and development activities at Schott AG, emphasizing the importance of scientifically grounded product and process innovation. The scale of development has significantly expanded since the reconstruction of Schott Glaswerke in Mainz, necessitating collaboration with customers, universities, and research institutes to supplement the expertise available within the company. Since 1969, Schott has published regular research reports, or Forschungsberichte, in various technical journals to facilitate this cooperation. While these reports provide up-to-date information for experts, they may not serve as comprehensive surveys for those less familiar with the subject. This series aims to encourage the exchange of ideas and explore the diverse possibilities offered by glass and glass ceramics. It seeks to share the knowledge gained from research and development at Schott, benefiting scientists, engineers, interested customers, and the broader community connected to the firm. Through this initiative, the goal is to enhance understanding and foster innovation in the field of low thermal expansion glass ceramics.
