Ceramics, Glasses & Composite Materials

Glass-ceramics have an amorphous phase and one or more crystalline phases and are produced by a so-called "controlled crystallization" in contrast to a spontaneous crystallization, which is typically not wanted in glass manufacturing. The use of those materials in specific areas is predicted to extend within the future, including structural, functional and biomedical applications. Glass-ceramics are utilized in medical applications thanks to their unique interaction, or lack thereof, with physical body tissue. In most cases nucleation agents are added to the bottom composition of the glass-ceramic.
