Description for The Vitreous State. Thermodynamics, Structure, Rheology, and Crystallization.
Hardback. Here is a detailed review of current understanding of thermodynamics and statistical physics relating to glass. The new edition adds material on biologically important vitrified aqueous solutions, geologically important glass-formation processes and more. Num Pages: 553 pages, 9 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHF; PNK; TDCQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 31. Weight in Grams: 978.
This book summarizes the experimental evidence and modern classical and theoretical approaches in understanding the vitreous state, from structural problems, over equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, to statistical physics. Glasses, and especially silicate glasses, are only the best known representatives of this particular physical state of matter. Other typical representatives include organic polymer glasses, and many other easily vitrifying organic and inorganic substances, technically important materials, amidst them vitreous water and vitrified aqueous solutions, and also many metallic alloy systems. Some of these systems only form glasses under particular conditions, e.g. through ultra-rapid cooling. This book describes the properties and the ... Read more
