Biography

David Pye, Innocent Joseph, Angelo Montenero

"This publication comprises the work of leading glass scientists from six countries around the world in once concise treatment of the properties and processes involved in glass melts. By design, all chapters combine discussions of fundamental concepts with a compilation of reliable data projected to be critical to the modeling of glass melting, fining, conditioning and forming.… The chapter on electrical properties provides a solid foundation for understanding glass melting…and the discussion of the corrosive nature of molten glasses will be of great interest to tank designers and operators…. This is an effective reference for scientists who require data on the behavior of viscous melts and for glass technologists who apply mathematical models simulating the melting and forming processes."
