DESCRIPTION:
Contains a new description of the oxidation state of glass and its components based on the phase rule. This edition retains its pedagogical structure but has been extensively revised and updated. Features advances in the field pertaining to the latest developments on fatigue and fracture as well as environmental aspects of some hazardous materials and their effects on glass during long term storage. Includes a new chapter on chemical durability with recent information regarding corrosion of glass and radioactive waste disposal.
Many of these advances were based directly on discoveries made in the 1960s, when the basic sciences were concentrated on unveiling the structural and compositional mysteries of glass. This Second Edition of Robert H. . Doremus's classic, Glass Science, has been extensively revised and updated to reflect recent advances, while retaining the pedagogical structure that made its predecessor a superb tool for both teaching and professional research. The structure and chemical durability of different glasses is now better understood, and far more efficient processing methods have been developed. Two new chapters have been added: one covers chemical durability (the reaction of glass with water), which includes recent work related to corrosion of glass and radioactive waste disposal: the other concerns the reaction of gasses with glass, especially oxygen.

I'm a glass artist who has wondered about some aspects of glass chemistry and physics. This book is mostly over my head, but I did glean a few details that have helped me to understand why glass behaves the way it does.
