This book provides a comprehensive overview of glass-ceramic technology, covering the scientific principles, manufacturing processes, and modern applications of these advanced materials. It explains the mechanisms of nucleation and crystallization in glass, the methods used to produce glass-ceramics, and the relationships between composition, microstructure, and material properties. The book examines the thermal, mechanical, chemical, and optical characteristics of various glass-ceramic systems and discusses their commercial development and industrial applications. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of glass-ceramics in biomedical and dental fields, including implant materials, dental restorations, and bioactive ceramics. In addition, the text explores applications in optics, electronics, thermal engineering, and other high-technology industries. Combining fundamental theory with practical examples, this volume serves as a valuable reference for students, engineers, researchers, and professionals working in materials science, glass technology, ceramic engineering, and advanced functional materials.
