Learning outcomes
|
The objective of this course is to give the student a fundamental understanding of the properties of inorganic glasses and relationships exhibited by glassy materials together with the fundamentals of the technology of commercial glass-production.
Student acquires the knowledge in the glass properties, the relationships between in, and a method of their preparation. Also the basic input in technology processes of commercial glass-production is done.
