D.; Fréchette, V. D.; Kreidl, N. J.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoron Oxide plays a key role in numerous glasses of high technological importance, yet its role in glass structure is far from clear. Indeed, in recent years there have been serious chal­ lenges to previous structure concepts for both crystalline and glassy borates. These challenges were sufficient to warrant a re­ examination of the structure of borate glasses using the most pow­ erful tools currently available. To provide a suitable forum for this undertaking, a four-day conference on \"Boron in Glass and Glass Ceramics\" was convened at Alfred University, June 3-8, 1977 to review the best scientific thinking on structure and to debate conflicting views and discuss properties and applications of borate glasses. This conference was also the first in a New University series on Glass Science to be rotated among Alfred University, The Pensyl vania State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the University of Missouri-Rolla. The present volume represents the proceedings of the first conference in this series. The volume begins with a review of the remarkable contribution of Jan Krogh-Moe to the understanding of the structure of Borate glasses. This review, authored by Professor N. J. Kreidl, concludes by dedicating the proceedings of this conference as a Krogh-Moe Fest­ schrift. The volume continues with a historical review by D. L. Griscom, originally prepared for circulation to the contributors prior to the conference. An Epilogue to the opening chapter brings the survey up-to-date in light of the conference papers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468433593\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-3357-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244.0cm x170.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 648.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44448572833932,"sku":"9781468433593","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468433593.jpg?v=1756872384","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468433593","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
